verse 1
Engine's turning, but there ain't no spark
Owls a-hooting, but the dog won't bark
No more greetings from the meadowlark
Deep in the darkest night
verse 2
I tried to warn you, but you'd gone too far
The cut was serious, but it left no scar
Now you're waving from a distant star
Deep in the darkest night
You climbed your ladder while the sun shone bright
Now you're a memory, never out of sight
A shining light
Deep in the darkest night
verse 3
You were youngest, but you stepped out first
You were gifted, but the gift was cursed
Your gave your good heart 'til your good heart burst
Deep in the darkest night
verse 4
You spoke your word and your word was trust
But a will of iron can so easily rust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Deep in the darkest night___
Lead Break
I know you're watching and I wish you well
When next I see you, only time will tell
When you see me coming, give that rebel yell
Deep in the darkest night
