If It Wasn`t for the Night

<br>from Into The Mystery<br>..............................................<br><br>If it wasn?t for the night<br>So cold this time of year<br>The stars would never shine so bright<br>So beautiful and clear<br><br>I have walked this road alone<br>My thin coat against the chill<br>When the light in me was gone<br>And my winter house was stilled<br><br>When I grieved for all I?d made<br>Out of all I had to give<br>On the eve of Christmas day<br>With no reason left to live<br><br>Even then somehow in the bitter wind and cold<br>Impossibly strong I know<br>Even then a bloom as tender as a rose<br>Was breaking through the snow<br>In the dark night of the soul<br>In the dark night of the soul<br><br>If it wasn?t for the babe<br>Lying helpless on the straw<br>There would be no Christmas day<br>And the night would just go on<br><br>When it seem that death has won<br>Buried deep beneath the snow<br>Where the summer leaves have gone<br>The seed of hope will grow<br><br>CHORUS<br><br>..............................................<br><br>В© David Wilcox, all rights reserved
