Darkness (Into the Light)

If you spend three days at the bottom of a well Tired and hungry and lonesome as hell If you spend three days alone in shades of blue Stockpiling more sorrow than any man should Trust me, you'd cry out to your tiny circle of sky Take me out of the darkness and into the light Those who know, know you can settle the score There's no key to loose melancholy's door Only pills for muted happiness and flight Won't silence the fears of an imminent demise I need a second opinion Or a dose of sun in the eyes Take me out of the darkness and into the light And if you spent three days in a stone cold tomb And no feed or fantasy could put a dent in your mood If you were dead among the living, unmarked and unnamed And no thrill or good time could roll the stone away You too would beg heaven to resurrect you like Christ Take you out of the darkness and into the light Babe, you tried hard to put my heart at ease And not a single word could set this sorry man free And I know it's hard to see your champion so easily defeated Buried in the dust, bruised and battered and beated And I know from your steady hand, you cast this patient a line Take me out of the darkness and into the light Take me out of the darkness and into the light
