Oh Alittle light that shines
FPut down your shuttle love and come to the blind
DmThe night is hissing like a mad, mad snake
The Gmclouds are rolling in, and the storm is right beDmhind
Oh Alittle hand in my hand
FAh the madness of a world is on the move
DmThe wind is crashing like it's blind, drunk and angry
GmAnd feeling in the dark for a poor man's Dmdoor
Chorus:
GmDrowned dog, black Dmnight, Gmdrowned dog, black Dmnight
BmTie down whatever's loose, F#mnail those shutters tight
FOh there'll be nothing left at all Cat the end of a black nigAht
Oh my comfort and joy
Why should we turn and run like all the rest
Let us put to our intentions now
Be like if tomorrow's sun should rise in the west
Chorus

Oh little light that shines

Put down your shuttle love and come to the blind

The night is hissing like a mad, mad snake

The clouds are rolling in, and the storm is right behind

Oh little hand in my hand

Ah the madness of a world is on the move

The wind is crashing like it's blind, drunk and angry

Gm Dm

And feeling in the dark for a poor man's door

Gm Dm Gm Dm

Drowned dog, black night, drowned dog, black night

Oh there'll be nothing left at all at the end of a black night

Oh my comfort and joy

Why should we turn and run like all the rest

Let us put to our intentions now

Be like if tomorrow's sun should rise in the west
