"Darkness On The Face Of The Earth" lyrics

Darkness On The Face Of The Earth

The morning that you left me
Was just another day
How could I see the sorrow
That had found me?

Then you left and told me
That I was in your way
And I turned and ran
As heaven fell around me

I stumbled through the darkness
My footsteps were unsure
I lived within a world
That had no sunshine

When you left me, darling
My world came to an end
And there was darkness
On the face of the earth

The stars fell out of heaven
And the moon could not be found
The sun was in a million pieces
Scattered all around

Why did you ever leave me?
You knew how it would hurt
And now there's darkness
On the face of the earth

The stars fell out of heaven
And the moon could not be found
The sun was in a million pieces
Scattered all around

Why did you ever leave me?
You knew how it would hurt
And now there's darkness
On the face of the earth

And now there's darkness
On the face of the earth
