Sometimes in the Darkness Lyrics by Herndon

Technical Difficulties

Sometimes In The Darkness
Rog is in the kitchen thinking about the Future
John is in his bedroom thinking about the Past
I'm just wasting no time like the Present
And nothing I can do can make this moment last
I listened to Buck Owens and I thought I heard God
Screaming in a solo, He told me to take heed
I rewound the tape, but at closer listen
I don't think anybody's talking to me
So I burned another filter and I smoked another joint
I drank a wineglass full of straight vermouth
The Italians like it dry, but it made me pucker
I'm killing my senility in my youth
Nobody believes me when I tell them I'm a poet
They all just think I'm an alcoholic
But that's okay with me, 'cause I can understand it
And maybe that's the reason you haven't been calling me
Sometimes in the darkness when I'm all alone
I think about love and I think I need proof
But proof never comes and darkness surrounds me
So when I'm all alone I think about you
It gets me thinking about all of the women
From years ago that I knew in the past
It gets me thinking about True Love
And if it exists, does it ever last?
Why do all the girls who say they love me
Show me their emotion by beating me up?
I guess that it's easier to hide your feelings
And there's less of a chance of getting hurt if you got someone to beat on up
A little baby reaches out with open arms
And we know that he means he wants to be hugged
But if I'd do the same you'd think I was weak
Twenty years of hurt has taught me how to hide my love
Why can't I just come right out and tell you
That I don't really know you, but I think I'm in love?
I guess that I'm afraid you won't feel the same
And when I'm reaching out I don't want to be shoved
One time I heard a story about True Love
I didn't understand it, especially the end
It was about a Carpenter who loved everybody
And he laid down his life for the love of His friends
And sometimes in the darkness when I'm all alone
I think about carpenters and the things they do
And I don't know nothing about nails and hammers
But sometimes in the darkness, Lord, I think about you
Lord, I think about you
