The first one to leave me,
was Oscar, so young
Twenty years, when it killed him
He was a bright kid
and his words were song in the morning
When they all were children
in the morning
Before it got dark
And Daniel left me,
my oldest son
He was found on the lawn in the city
Don't know what I did
or what I should have done
in the morning
When he still was with me,
in the morning
Before it got dark
Benjamin, that sweetheart
I saw him fade
His dark eyes could no longer see me
Since I saw him dyin'
Each night, i prayed for the mornings
when they still were dreaming
of morning
Before it got dark
...
And my mother and all my sons
are no more
They left me
with many of?
I'm tired of living
The ghosts of before,
I'll be with them, my sons, in the mornin'
in the mornin'
Before it gets dark
