In My Hour of Darkness Songtext

von Gram Parsons

In my hour of darknessIn my time of needOh, Lord grant me visionOh, Lord grant me speedOnce I knew a young manWent driving through the nightMiles and miles without a wordWith just his high-beam lightsWho'd have ever though they'd build sucha deadly Denver bendTo be so strong, to take as long asit would till the endIn my hour of darknessIn my time of needOh, Lord grant me visionOh, Lord grant me speedAnother young man safely strummed hissilver string guitarAnd he played to people everywhereSome say he was a starBut he was just a country boy,his simple songs confessAnd the music he had in him,so very few possessIn my hour of darknessIn my time of needOh, Lord grant me visionOh, Lord grant me speedThen there was an old manKind and wise with ageAnd he read me just like a book and henever missed a pageAnd I loved him like my fatherAnd I loved him like my friendAnd I knew his time would shortly comebut I did not know just whenIn my hour of darknessIn my time of needOh, Lord grant me visionOh, Lord grant me speedOh, Lord grant me visionOh, Lord grant me speed
