Dark Is the Bark Lyrics by The Left Banke

There’s Gonna Be a Storm: The Complete Recordings 1966-1969

0

[Verse 1]
Surrounded in gold and priceless paintings she loves
She lies in glistenings, a world reddish and blue

[Chorus]
Darkness was all she could see
Lovely was all she could be
No one has bothered to be
Something she wanted to see
Darkness red (Is the bark of the tree)
Living gray (Is the bark of the tree)

[Verse 2]
Surrounded with boxes of people that once saw the day
I speak and my words begin to believe what I say

[Chorus]
Darkness was all I could see
Lonely was all I could be
Loving was something in me
Somewhere for someone to see
It was shady (Is the bark of the tree)
She's so mean (Dark is the bark of the tree)

[Interlude]

[Outro]
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
