Josh Ritter - (Still) the Still of the Night Lyrics

When it's dark as the dark
At the bottom of a mine
And the moon's just a star in the sky
And the pound of her heart
Keeps her crossing your mind
And it's still the still of the night

The willow still weeps
Time still creeps
And there ain't no relief that's in sight
Just a long lonesome song
That I feel coming on
And it's still the still of the night

What does it say about shadows that they
Only come out in the sun?
Even those who by rights should belong to the night
Get to sleep when the day is done

I've stayed up so late
I've watched and I've waited
In case someday morning comes by
Please ask her to stay
Tell her I've lost my way
And it's still the still of the night"
