I See a Darkness (Bonnie Prince Billy cover) Lyrics


Well, you're my friend

(that's what you told me)

And can you see?

(what's inside of me)

Many times we've been out drinking

So many times we've shared our thoughts

But did you ever, ever notice

The kind of thoughts I got?

'Cause you know I have a love

A love for everyone I know

And you've seen I have a drive

To live I won't let go

But can you see it's opposition

Comes rising up sometimes

That it's dreadful end position

Comes blacking in my mind

And that I see a darkness

And that I see a darkness

That I see a darkness

That I see a darkness

Did you know how much I love you

Is there hope that somehow you

Could save me from this darkness?

I hope that someday, buddy

We'll have peace in our lives

Together or apart

Alone or with our wives

Then we can stop our whoring

And pull the smiles inside

And light it up forever

And never go to sleep

My best unbeaten brother

This isn't all I see

Oh no, I see a darkness

Oh no, I see a darkness

Oh, no, I see a darkness

Oh, no, I see a darkness

Did you know how much I love you?

Is a hope that somehow you

Could save me from this darkness?
