New York Room - Lament lyrics

rate me

as dusk grows cold

and the sky comes forth,

echoes long and low

the piercing thorns of dawn

have now all gone away

bathe me in darkness

beneath thy veil

darker, darker

deep within: further, further

oh, dark night

hold me close

tight in your arms

don't leave me alone

plagued with doubt and woe

to you I've come alone

weary and worn with scorn

bathe me in darkness

beneath thy veil

darker, darker

deep within: further, further

as dawn blurs, unfurls and warms

and the sky opens once more

in its light, I am more alone

only to beckon again the night

and wait for day to darken and die
