If you spend three days at the bottom of a well
Tired and hungry and lonesome as hell
If you spend three days alone in shades of blue
Stockpiling more sorrow than any man should
Trust me, you'd cry out to your tiny circle of sky
Take me out of the darkness and into the light
Those who know, know you can settle the score
There's no key to loose melancholy's door
Only pills for muted happiness and flight
Won't silence the fears of an imminent demise
I need a second opinion
Or a dose of sun in the eyes
Take me out of the darkness and into the light
♪
And if you spent three days in a stone cold tomb
And no feed or fantasy could put a dent in your mood
If you were dead among the living, unmarked and unnamed
And no thrill or good time could roll the stone away
You too would beg heaven to resurrect you like Christ
Take you out of the darkness and into the light
Babe, you tried hard to put my heart at ease
And not a single word could set this sorry man free
And I know it's hard to see your champion so easily defeated
Buried in the dust, bruised and battered and beated
And I know from your steady hand, you cast this patient a line
Take me out of the darkness and into the light
Take me out of the darkness and into the light
