Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A Oh little light that shines F Put down your shuttle love and come to the blind Dm The night is hissing like a mad, mad snake GmDm The clouds are rolling in, and the storm is right behind
A Oh little hand in my hand F Ah the madness of a world is on the move Dm The wind is crashing like it's blind, drunk and angry GmDm And feeling in the dark for a poor man's door
Chorus: GmDmGmDm Drowned dog, black night, drowned dog, black night BmF#m Tie down whatever's loose, nail those shutters tight FCA 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
