Gonna Be a Darkness - The Jayhawks

There’s gonna be roses and your picture in a frame

The women will be cryin' and the men they will whisper your name

Umbrellas will be open on a hillside of graves

The children will be dressed up and chase each other in the rain

And there’s gonna be a darkness

It may be colder than you guessed

There may not be music, there may not be stairs

There may not be angels fillin' the air

Your mother may be there

Your father may be there

There may not be voices sent from a throne

To carry you home

Now Heaven may not get you: the Devil may see you first

He’s hittin' himself in both the beast and the birth

A stranger may have found you where the angels have lulled you to sleep

They swallow you whole like a whale from your head to your feet

And there’s gonna be a darkness

It may be colder than you guessed

There may not be music, there may not be stairs

There may not be angels fillin' the air

Your mother may be there

Your father may be there

There may not be voices sent from a throne

To carry you home
