Elvis Costello & The Imposters

Elvis Costello & The Imposters - Country Darkness

[Verse 1]
This tattered document
A mystery you can solve
Some burnt out filament
Flies still buzzing around the bulb

[Chorus]
Country Darkness

[Verse 2]
He thought of traveling
Heard an approaching train
Drown out his desperate pulse
A song with no refrain

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
She daydreams of forbidden sins
There must be something more
The prison she lives in
The one with the open door

The veil is covering
A glistening and cruel blade
Suffer little children
Repent, unfaithful maid
[Chorus]
