------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT - Trampled By Turtles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE: DGD Colorado was so nice, DGD but I'm Minnesota's son DGD Even when the cold winds blow AG in the darkness and the light
DGD And the young folks search for meaning here DGD and the old folks know there's none DGD Out your window you can see the world AG Babe it's turning, and it's gone
CHORUS: DAG
GDAG And the stars at night,
GDAG why do they make you cry? GA Don't you think that I'll be coming home?
VERSE: Well it's not like Sunny, Monterrey in all the Steinbeck books you read, Where the hobos know the secrets and the law turns their head
We are as close to paradise even though you might not hear it said, And the Methodists all bring a dish to share with the ashes on their head
Chorus: And when the sun's in the sky, we'll have a class outside, Why do you think that I can be so cold?
VERSE: I'm not scared of much here anymore, wait, friends, that was a lie 'Cause I'm scared to death of losing you, to be alone, high and dry
Chorus: And I know you worry, about time and money, but don't you know those things, they come and go?
