Salty Dog - The Darkness Lyrics

You would never know it
The constant pain I feel
Because in the light of day
It almost isn't real
Sure, I'll play, I'll laugh
I'll sing some songs
But that pain is always lurking
Because it's been here all along

And when the darkness comes
With its all-consuming power
It slowly takes my soul
Hour by dreadful hour

They tell me that I'm strong enough
It's getting better every day
They tell me if I can just hold out
And bear this stormy weather
I will be happy one day
All you need do is fight
But what they seem to forget
Is after each day comes the night

But when the darkness comes
With its all-consuming power
It slowly takes my soul
Hour by dreadful hour
