Joe Henry - Coda: Light No Lamp When the Sun Comes Down Lyrics

Light no lamp when the sun comes downThe dark will speak, has things to saySomething lost and never foundHides from the cold watchful eyes of dayClose no door against the coldThe angry storm is alive in youIt's like a story never toldAnd it tears at walls that it can't pass throughSave no time for later onIt can't be caught like falling rainBut leaves the tongue, is sung and goneTil only the song of regret remainsSo light no lamp when the sun comes lowPull the dark close to your faceShadows fear covers you like clothesBut likewise so does love and grace
