INTO THE NIGHT w&m: bill mallonee c. BMI 2019
It was somewhere 'long the border
it was finally resolved
there are no winners on either side
when bloodshed is involved
a poet and a pauper pervaded my dreams
and a priest, just for good measure,
to absolve me of my sins

Chorus:
Into the night.....when there's nothing left to save
Into the night. Let the star-shine light your way

Take every president, king & Emperor
and lock 'em all in a cell
Give 'em swords or give 'em pistols
let us farm boys know who fell
We'll sort out the details
but plantin' time has come
and if there is no harvest
our kids who will succumb

Into the night when there's nothing left to save
Into the night.
Mother Mary light my way

You may hear the drum roll; You may see those banners wave
You may see yourself in a motorcade of a ticker-tape parade
the poet gave the pauper his gold pen and said:
"Sir, you're now the scribe."
The priest? He blessed the both of them
and ran into the night

Into the night.....when there's nothing left to save
Into the night. Let the star-shine light your way
Into the night when there's nothing left to save
Into the night.
Mother Mary light my way
Star-shine light my way....
