The Night Was Dark And Deep Lyrics - Stories From The Steeples - Mary Black

We were driving back from 

the country one night 

Mom and Dad up the front 

The rest of us snug and tight 

My kid brother grumbled for a little minute 

My big sister said he better quit it or die 

It had been a long day in the countryside 

Playing with the cousins on my mother's side 

The sound of the radio closed our eyes 

Drifting across the sea, then I fell asleep 

Well I don't know what woke me up 

Maybe a country song or a big truck passing by 

But I could hear Mama and Papa talk 

Papa said something and Mama began to cry 

No more words then just soft sobs 

And my head began to throb 

I just lay there playing dog 

Breathing slow and deep 

They thought I was asleep 

They thought I was asleep

It seemed like forever till the sobbing stopped 

Then they talked for a little 

But just too soft to hear 

Daddy kept looking to the side of her face 

One hand on the wheel 

The other one stroking her hair 

Headlights shining from the other way 

Showed tears on the cheeks of Daddy's face 

I prayed for Jesus to send His grace 

And all our souls to keep 

Back then I believed 

They thought I was asleep 

The night was dark and deep 

I wish I was asleep 

How I wish I was asleep
