Dark The Night Lyrics - Sandy Denny

Love, oh don't we know 

How can the river flow without you 

Warming like the sand upon the land 

How can we doubt you? 

Dark to me the night 

And dim the morning light 

Tomorrow, how can we not see 

The simple melody of sorrow? 

Oh to be with you, oh to see them through 

Those days when we think you are gone 

They are so lonesome and so long 

What shall we do? 

Parting comes to soon, my weary tune 

Has lost its pleasure 

Waiting for the time, this lonely wine 

Has lost its treasure 

Dark to me the night 

And dim the morning light 

Tomorrow, how can we not see 

The simple melody of sorrow? 

Oh to be with you, oh to see them through 

These days when we think you are gone 

They are so lonesome and so long 

What shall I do?
