In the cold darkness of the night

     looking to black sky and the stars so bright

Reds and gold’s and blues and whites

     and bright shining moon high overhead

darkness is silent cold and hard

     the heart lies empty of all desire

of the day the before us lies

     wanting desperately to turn away

black hard road does straightly lie

     going too quickly across the land

once again to where we would not be

     of empty longing in another day

calling to me as sirens song

     of another path the curves away

to travel to a happier place

     of memories warm long before

my will is weak to temptations call

     longing memories within me call

to the things from long ago

     happier times long lost to me

hard is life and the needs there of

     the pulls me away from where I would be

holding to the hard straight path

     going on into the cold dark night
