Dark Rooms from Side B by Reverend James Elmore Jenkins

A cool breeze blows in dust flies off my shelf
I was thinking about how you were the answer to a question that I've never even asked myself
Now the days roll away and it's been a long long time
But I still see you now and again
From the visions in my mind

A late night leads to the morn, thoughts flash through my head
Bout things I should have done about things I should have said
How behind the mountains there are so many sunsets to come
How I won't spend any of them with you
What's done is done

I don't know why I bother, I couldn't make it even if I tried
There ain't no need to play these games there ain't no need to lie
But the stars still shine bright and the signs are so hard to read
If it means anything at all
I'm here for you if you need

A long day's work then I'm on my knees in prayer
But I really shouldn't worry by now I really shouldn't even care
But I still dream of you and I long for your touch
But my dreams have dried up like the fallen leaves
They really don't mean that much

So what's good is bad what's bad is good, that's just the way things are
We live life like we want, we all got unhealed scars
And the hand that we've been dealt has always kept us apart
But I'll still keep you hidden away
In the dark rooms of my heart
