A Black Wave is Comin'

A black wave is comin'
A black wave will fall
Touch your tremblin' lips to your pale fingertips
A black wave doth call
So where do you go my lover
And where do you go my friend
When every face you know and every low road
They have all become dark and dim
A black wave is comin'
A black wave will fall
Touch your tremblin' lips to your pale fingertips
A black wave doth call
So what do you see my darlin'
And what do you see my dear
I can’t tell, I can’t tell in the wild wood a spell
And the clouds forsake the sky here
So what do you see my lover
And what do you see my friend
I don’t know, I don’t know at Midnight comes a snow
I can’t see, but I hear a little hymn
I can’t see, but I hear a little hymn
