In the darkness

I think of light

And when it will come

I think of light

And what I’ll be doing

Later on

I think of what I’ve done.

 

In the darkness

I think of shame

And when it will disperse

I think of shame

And hope for something better

Later on

I fear it will be worse.

 

In the darkness

I think of ice-cold water

And when it starts to trickle

I think of ice-cold water

And plan to find some shelter

Later on

I know life is fickle.

 

In the darkness

I think of red-hot fever

And when its heat will burn

I think of red-hot fever

And aim to sweat it out

Later on

I feel the heat return.

 

In the darkness

I think of light

And when it will be bright

I think of light

And how to spend what’s left

Later on

I wait for the long night.
