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

Coda: Light No Lamp When The Sun Comes Down

Light no lamp when the sun comes down
The dark will speak, has things to say
Something lost and never found
Hides from the cold watchful eyes of day
Close no door against the cold
The angry storm is alive in you
It’s like a story never told
And it tears at walls that it can’t pass through
Save no time for later on
It can’t be caught like falling rain
But leaves the tongue, is sung and gone
Til only the song of regret remains
So light no lamp when the sun comes low
Pull the dark close to your face
Shadows fear covers you like clothes
But likewise so does love and grace
