John Wesley Harding - A Singer's Request lyrics

Dark the night and long til day

Do not bid us further stray

Dark the night and long til day

Do not bid us further stray

Now the sun it does decline

Pour the beer and pour the wine

Let us lead your thoughts astray

From the world and from the day

Dark the night and long til day

Do not bid us further stray

We bring songs from history

Love and war and mystery

We can lead you from despair

Or can chill the darkening air

Dark the night and long til day

Do not bid us further stray

And you can choose to pass us by

With a cruel or a scornful eye

We shall see the ending through

Then we'll turn and say to you

Dark the night and long til day

Do not bid us further stray

Dark the night and long til day

Do not bid us further stray

Dark the night and long til day

Do not bid us further stray
