Dark Days

I didn't know it could get so dark so fast

But from here on it's not gonna last

The days are getting longer and I'll have my time

Tomorrow is not far away

From where I stand all alone today

Just add another minute for the sun to shine

My shadow falls hard against this world

It leads me to a special place

It looks away from the shortest day

But it stares right back in my face

The sun at my back gives me a long look

And it won't fail me now

I'm walking straight to a warm embrace

To a day that's never gonna end at all

Don't you feel the chill lift from the air

The sky shines clear to someplace where

There will be no more waiting for the night to end

I didn't know I could get so far so fast

Overcome my shadow and walked right past

Straight into the sunlight

'cause I know my own way now

I know the darkness will return

The numbing cold and the freezing burn

The days are getting shorter

But I know that I will last
