The Dark

Greg Roundtree 1961 (Georgia)

The Dark
  Lost in the dark. Its come yet again. To cover my daylight. To blind me again.
  Lost in the dark. Without hope or light. Lost in the dark. It’s another black night.
  Praying for daylight. Please come again! Lost in the dark. As It’s come once again.
