Lyrics

Darkness took the light

I’ve written this song for you, will you hear it.
I know it may not do, I can try.
You closed the door behind you, just five minutes ago.
In that moment darkness took the light
 
Things are said in the heat of the moment.
Sorry doesn’t always stop the pain.
But even in the darkness, there can be light.
Don’t close the door, can we start again
 
I’ve written this song for you, hope you like it.
I hope that it will do, for a while.
You closed the door behind you, five minutes ago.
Don’t close the door for ever on me now
 
It cannot be that you are gone for ever.
I’ll wait here by the door, come rain or shine.
I know we cannot wave a magic banner.
But darkness can be banished by your light
 
I’ve written this song for you, hope you hear it.
 It may have to do, for a while.
You closed the door behind you, just five minutes ago.
The moment darkness took the light
 
I’ll be singing my song for you, in the morning.
I’ll be watching for the light, of the dawn
Darkness cannot last for ever.
The door is open, I’m waiting for you now
