Don't This Look Like The Dark (Magnolia Electric Co.)

Six and a half hours into the West Virginia night Half a mile from home and I was making pretty good time I thought that I’d gone far enough I couldn’t lose the trail then I stepped through the door And I still found a way to fail I can’t start to count the things I said I’d never be And I became them all the night you quit counting on me And all the hard things that you said to my heart Every one of them things rang true But it was that one look at the end That one look at the end (2x) That ran it through Now that the big gray owl above me She starts again to wail She says that moon has got so low tonight That it’s polishing the rail That mountain engine’s running about thirty years too late Once you hear it coming boy It will not let you wait I used to think that tomorrow was just out there waiting for me But now i wonder where tomorrow I wonder where tomorrow I wonder where tomorrow’s going to be Tonight when i am rolling over the Earth’s most lonesome ground I will think of all the ways next time I will try not to let you down I thought that I’d live long enough That the light would come shining through Don’t this look like the dark (3x) Don’t it look like the dark (3x)
