Velvet Arrow - Dark Was The Night ...song for Blind Willie Johnson Lyrics

Dark was the night
And cold was the ground
Cried an old blind man
From the ruins of his home
In a dirty street in Bell County
All the way to Paris, Texas
Into my room settle the cries
In the ruins of my soul

But where do you go
When you have nowhere else to go
Where do you go
When you have nowhere to go

Dark was the night
And cold was the ground
Cried a young boy caught in a fight
Between his folk
Blind he spent his days
Singing the blues
And when he died got sent to space
And lives there still

But where do you go
When you have nowhere else to go
Where do you go
When you have nowhere to go

Where, where, do you go
When you're all alone

Dark is the night
And cold is the ground
Cries a young girl
Left alone too long
Feeling just as blind as the one
Who wrote this song
Sees no way out
Waiting for the end to come

But where do you go
When you have nowhere else to go
Where do you go
When you have nowhere to go
Where do you go
When you have nowhere else to go

Where, where, do you go, where

She cries into the dark
