The Gospel According To Darkness

The Gospel According To Darkness (LP版) - Jane Siberry

I know there's a place that you call your own

And you're safe and warm

And you feel like you're home

And the peace of it and the faith involved

And you go to say but there's

No need to explain it

Still you try and then you see

That it's okay you're on your own

I see you lookin' around

At the people on the street

Well things aren't what they seem

If you push them hard enough

You'll find that most of them

You not feel worthy of love now

How did this come to be

Oh my sweet sweet darlin'

(Yes )

Look at me you're telling me

You can't pierce

The darkness into the light

(Yes)

Can you see me

(No I can't)

Can you see the figure

Standing on your right

Nobody yeah it's just darkness

It's just darkness

Come on I know you understand

(I'm tryin' I'm tryin')

Oh

See

Love will you let us know

Will you let us know when it's time

When we can leave this darkness behind

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Oh my sweet sweet darlin'

You know when you open up your eyes

(Oh I'm afraid there won't be anyone)

I'm beaming you all this light

(Something's happening)

Who is it

He said "I'm holding my sweet

Mama in my arms"

Is she dying

(No I think she's just been born)

(And she looks)

Oh I know there's a place

(And she looks so hopeful)

That you call your own

(And she looks so trusting)

Safe and warm

(She doesn't know)

And you feel like you're home

I see you lookin' around at

The people on the street

Well things aren't what they seem

If you push them hard enough

You'll find that most of them

Do not feel worthy of love now

How did this come to be

I know there's a place that you call your own
