![]() A Night Of Reckoning (1983) [ larger cover art ] |
Each step I take is in darkness
Since we've been apart
No flowers bloom on my pathway
There's no joy inside my heart
I'm going down, way down
Where no love is found, I'm going down
A rocky road, rocky road
Stream has dried up in the meadow
The grass is parched and brown
Green fields we used to walk through
Are just stones upon the ground
I'm going down, way down
Where no love is found, I'm going down
A rocky road, rocky road
Ah, I'm going down
I'm going down, way down
Where no love is found, I'm going down
A rocky road, rocky road
I'm going down
I'm going down
Since we've been apart
No flowers bloom on my pathway
There's no joy inside my heart
I'm going down, way down
Where no love is found, I'm going down
A rocky road, rocky road
Stream has dried up in the meadow
The grass is parched and brown
Green fields we used to walk through
Are just stones upon the ground
I'm going down, way down
Where no love is found, I'm going down
A rocky road, rocky road
Ah, I'm going down
I'm going down, way down
Where no love is found, I'm going down
A rocky road, rocky road
I'm going down
I'm going down

| jbunniii (San Jose, CA) | Posted: Aug 23, 2012 - 17:07 I gave it a 4 initially, but it keeps dragging on and on, and now there's an a capella section at the end. Dropped it to a 2. |
