Ever the Dark

Ever the dark come calling ever the ground gone shake Ever it don't stop rainin' ever the dam gone break Now and then we let a little light in, then back again, drawing the blinds Ever the dark come calling, ever the sun don't shine I'm tired of shooting myself in the foot every shotgun blast Renders my best-laid plans kaput, fly's my flag half-mast Even when I've been keeping mind right, setting my sights on, whoa Ever the dark come calling, ever the light lay low Ever the dark come calling ever you can't say when Ever the sun come shinin' ever the roof caves in Even when I'm gone say it again, we got trouble like it never been known Ever the dark comes calling, ever the light stay gone I'm gonna change my number, gonna change my friends Take myself to meetings child, let it all sink in I tried faking it, thinking I was making it and shakin' it a time or two Shame, shame, I've been fanning that flame, been landing that blame on you Hey, hey baby, what do you say if we ever get back gone leave it that way Ever the dark come calling, ever the light lay low Ever the moon say, "Don't blame me", ever the stars say, "who" I heard talkin' bout a line worth walkin' been balkin ever since day one Ever the dark come calling, ever they ain't no fun
