From the recording Cold Dark Afternoon

Lyrics

Feel it crying from the sky
Like it’s sighing a sad goodbye
Fools will try to youth ally
Cannot deny, it’s just a lie

It’s a cold dark afternoon
It’s a cold dark afternoon

Leaves are falling from the trees
It’s so appalling this early freeze
No use crawling on hands and knees
Night is calling on a winter breeze

It’s a cold dark afternoon
It’s a cold dark afternoon

Weather’s changing an ill wind blows
Something’s coming, someone owes

It’s a cold dark afternoon
It’s a cold dark afternoon

So soon betrays this errant dream
And not allay such thoughts extreme
Come the day, no clever scheme
Shall delay the banshee’s scream
