DARK CORNERS
( J. Wilson)
© Ochiltree 136 Publishing (1997)

Another curtain call and now I’m all alone
it’s nearly four a.m.
My demons soon awake, that’s when the silence breaks
And then the fun will begin
I start at every fright - noises bumping in the night to haunt me
And sobriety could never leave me be, to control...

Those dark corners where I stand,
Can I ever be a man?
Will my fears n’ere lead me from
|Those dark corners where I stand
see no sun

The TV’s warm blue glow puts on a dinner show
for all that care to attend
The lamp light once a friend, seems to me now dangerous
its shadows flickers as they bend
My deepest carnal dares, give way now to desperate prayers
my faith restored

It’d be a crazy thing to give up on this suffering
I’m scared but I’m home
Something feels amiss the daylight’s tenderness
has to the night, lost its innocence
I want to be delinquent then I stop and get to thinking
I’ll leave nothing left to chance
