THE DARK OF THIS NIGHT

I'm not one to bale
While there's a chink of light 
I'm not going to fail 
In the dark of this night 

Aint looking to fall 
Keep my hopes in the air  
Nor pounding the wall
In some abject despair 

I'll be up on stage somewhere 
I'll keep writing my songs 
I ache just to be there 
Where my soul still belongs 

Though pain keeps my mind blurred 
I'll determine my choice 
I tell you you aint heard 
The last of this voice 

Yes it's driving me mental
This one-sided fight 
But I'm not going gentle 
Into that long night.
