Under the Cover of Darkness

about

“Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to was never there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it. Where is there a place for you to be? No place... Nothing outside you can give you any place... In yourself right now is all the place you've got.”

- Flannery O'Connor, Wise Blood

A cloudy waltz for the perpetually homesick, “Under the Cover of Darkness” accompanies the wanderer’s trek home along life’s existential highway.

lyrics

Blood moon, entry ramp, low fuel light
The last car left on the road just passed you to the right
The whole world’s between us, whole days of night
Our sun is spilling secrets in some upside down sky

Where it’s easy to be a hero for an evening
And never hard to be a villain your whole life
When folks go looking for something to believe in
And you give them something that they’ve never really tried. . .

But that won’t stop me from
Coming home tonight

Coming home tonight
Under the cover of darkness
Where the light won’t hide

Coming home tonight
I’m coming home tonight
Under the cover of darkness
Where the sky grows wide

Coming home tonight
Coming home tonight
Under the cover of darkness
Where the light won’t hide

Coming home tonight
I’m coming home tonight
Under the cover of darkness
Where the sky grows wide
