Dark Is The Night

 

Dark Is The Night

Dark is the night, only bullets are whistling around
With the wind singing songs in the wires and the stars softly gleaming 
You are awake though the night has long covered the grounds 
As you’re rocking the cradle, I know you are quietly weeping 

Oh, how l want to see that tender look in your eyes
Oh how I want just one moment to kiss them gently! 
We’re miles apart. And although stars are lit in the sky
Yet the dark steppe between us tonight feels so troubled and empty

I do believe you’ll remain ever faithful and true
It’s this faith that gave courage to me in the fiercest of battles 
And I’m at peace ‘cause I know I’m returning to you 
And whatever befalls me, for sure, I’ll return in fine fettle

I fear no death. It’s been taking its toll all around
And even now it is raging and will not settle 
You are awake though the night has long covered the grounds 
As you’re rocking the cradle I know I’ll return in fine fettle
