Ever The Dark Rodney Crowell

[Verse 1]
Ever the dark come callin'
Ever the ground gon' shake
Ever it don't stop rainin'
Ever the dam gon' break
Now and then, we let a little light in
And then we're back again drawing the blinds
Ever the dark come calling
Ever the sun don't shine

[Verse 2]
I'm tired of shooting myself in the foot
Every shotgun blast
Renders my best laid plans kaput
Flies my flag half mast
Even when I've been keeping my mind right
Setting my sights on woe
Ever the dark come calling
Ever the light lay low

[Verse 3]
Ever the dark come calling
Ever you can't say when
Ever the sun come shinin'
Ever the roof caves in
Even when I'm gonna say it again
We got trouble like it's never been known
Ever the dark come callin'
Ever the light stay gone
