You may not see the end of it

But luckily she comes around

It isn't what she talks about

It's just the way she is

(...and she says)

Ooh darlin' don't you know

The darkness comes and the darkness goes

Ooh babe why don't you let it go?

Happiness is never how you think it should be so

I mystified the simple life

I covered up with consciousness

I saw myself and broke it down

'Til nothing more was left

She saw the symptoms right away

And spoke to me in poetry

"Sometimes the more you wonder why

The worse it seems to get"

(...and she says)

Ooh darlin' don't you know

The darkness comes and the darkness goes

Ooh babe why don't you let it go?

Happiness is never how you think it should be so

But she runs away

She runs away...

And then you know comes a time

You need her more than anything

You may believe yours are the wounds

That only she can heal

Then everything will turn around

And she becomes so serious

What she chose to offer you

Was all that you could have

(...and she says)

Ooh darlin' don't you know

The darkness comes and the darkness goes

Ooh babe why don't you let it go?

Happiness is never how you think it should be so

But she runs away

She runs away...

She runs away

She runs away
