Well I know,
that my heart's true.
But I can't say, no,
that I'm gonna see this night through.
'Cause the dark that neighbors dawn,
it's a tunnel that keeps on keepin' on,
& at the end of the night well I hope that I find you.
Said at the end of the night, well I hope that I find you.
I've got vices and vile virtues,
I've caused pain, oh I've done wrong.
I sing sin and I oft rhyme through wine,
drink it down and all night long.
& I do tend to bend the truth,
as those who go first most often do,
but I'm singing straight for you,
honey straight for you.
Well I know,
that my heart's true.
But I can't say, no,
that I'm gonna see this night through.
'Cause the dark that neighbors dawn,
it's a tunnel that keeps on keepin' on,
& at the end of the night well I hope that I find you.
Said at the end of the night, well I hope that I find you.
I've sought answers in empty bottles, brown,
smoked shit that's rattled my brains around,
& there's two things that I've found to be certain:
There's a joy a'leakin' from my blues,
a mighty dancin' in my shoes,
I'm gonna stomp and stamp
'til I hollow this hallowed ground.
Well I know,
that my heart's true.
But I can't say, no,
that I'm gonna see this night through.
'Cause the dark that neighbors dawn,
it's a tunnel that keeps on keepin' on,
& at the end of the night well I hope that I find you.
Said at the end of the night, well I hope that I find you.
& honey, at the end of the night,
well I hope that you find me too.
