Coda: Light No Lamp When The Sun Comes Down - Joe Henry

Light no lamp when the sun comes down

The dark will speak, has things to say

Something lost and never found

Hides from the cold watchful eyes of day

Close no door against the cold

The angry storm is alive in you

It’s like a story never told

And it tears at walls that it can’t pass through

Save no time for later on

It can’t be caught like falling rain

But leaves the tongue, is sung and gone

Til only the song of regret remains

So light no lamp when the sun comes low

Pull the dark close to your face

Shadows fear covers you like clothes

But likewise so does love and grace
