Darkness

I caught the darkness

It was drinking from your cup

I caught the darkness

from your little cup

I said, Is this contagious?

You said, Just drink it up.

(ahh)

I’ve got no future

I know my days are few

Ah, the present’s not that pleasant

just a lot of things to do

I thought the past would last me

but the darkness got that too

I should have seen it coming

It was right behind your eyes

You were young and it was summer

I just had to take a dive

Winning you was easy, baby,

but the darkness was the prize

I don’t smoke no cigarettes

I don’t use the alcohol

I ain’t had much lovin’ yet

but that’s always been your call.

Hey, I don’t miss it baby

I got no taste for anything at all

I used to love the rainbow

and I used to love the view (ahh)

I loved the early morning

and I pretended it was new

But I caught the darkness, baby,

And I got it worse than you

I caught the darkness,

it was drinking from your cup

I caught the darkness

from your little cup

I said, Is this contagious?

You said, Just drink it up.
