Dark Days

Caroline
Now my faith is stone blind
There’s not a sign
In this hollow world of mine
But you’re so refined
I don’t blame you for leaving me behind
Your French books
Your pale privileged looks
That schoolgirl stare
All the judgment you impair
We’re called upon each day by a sun
We never doubt that it will come
We basked upon it’s burning rays
Now I’ve never seen such dark days
I’ve got my quips
But you’re just prayers upon my lips
That you won’t return
With the ashes of others burned
To prove you were right
That «lust is brave but loves a fight»
We’re called upon each day by a sun
We never doubt if it will come
We basked upon its burning rays
Now I’ve never seen such dark days
Should I relent?
Is it love that we invent?
So we always look back
On this weathered well worn track
We’re called upon each day by a sun
We never doubt if it will come
We basked upon it’s burning rays
Now I’ve never seen such dark days
Such Dark Days
