about

This song was written in Lockdown. It expresses how I felt on some of the long, uncertain Spring days of April 2020. It is about fear of the unknown but also about the need for hope, even on the Dark Days.

lyrics

Pink cherub clouds blaze
As the sun says goodbye
To one of those dark days
Another one of those dark days

The games have all been played
But don’t get yourself down
Let the fighting fish swim away
Let the candle’s glimmer linger
On the words you don’t say

When all this is over
We’ll remember dark days
When the fiddler played forever
Standing tall in the window
She waved us away
She said don’t you worry

If we could turn the world backwards
Could we spin the earth forwards
Turn away
From these dark days

You’ll be ok
Don’t let it get you
Don’t let it sweep you away
Stay tender in this moment
It’s just another dark day
Just another dark day

If we could turn the world backwards
Could we spin the earth forwards
Turn away
From these dark days
