Darkest Hour

Lyrics: Bob Weir, Josh Ritter, Josh Kaufman
Music: Bob Weir, Josh Ritter, Josh Kaufman

A track from Bob Weir's new album Blue Mountain..

Will you stay with me, will you hold my hand
Will you be my friend in my darkest hour
Though the fates may frown and the grapes may sour
Will you be with me in my darkest hour

As I hold you now, I will hold you then
Though the sun goes down and the stars burn out
Though the bitter cup may be at your lips
And we cannot kiss, I’ll still be your love

Well hey, hey, hey, whatcha gonna do
Well you don’t wanna try to drown the thorns with flowers
Well the flowers all fade but the thorns remain
Will you also stay in my darkest hour

Everywhere I go, the people say no, no, no
He’s bad news, born to sin
What a shame, it’s a crime
Hear that whistle blow on the last train gone
And if I catch that train we will both be alone

Far away, a bell has begun to ring
While the lions roars and the cowards cower
Will you hold me in your arms while I
The ladder climb to the realms of light

Well hey, hey, hey, whatcha gonna do
Well you don’t wanna try to drown the thorns with flowers
Well the flowers all fade but the thorns remain
Will you also stay in my darkest hour
Will you also stay in my darkest hour
