Darkest Hour

It's the tenth of January and I still ain't had no sleep
 She comes waltzing in the nighttime, made of wings
 She is dressed up like a bandit with a hundred sparkling rings
 Looking for my company to keep
 Coming closer to me, she doesn't say a word
 In the shadow of the carved rock tower
 Where the sounds of the night were the only things we heard
 In my darkest hour
 She don't want to hear no secrets, she would guarantee me that
 She knows there ain't no words that can describe her
 With her white silk scarves and her black Spanish hat
 She knows there ain't no way I can deny her
 Yes, her blue velvet perfume, filling up the night
 The guards are all asleep that watch the tower
 The moonlight held her breast as she easily undressed
 In my darkest hour
 Her father's in his chambers with his friends all gathered 'round
 They are plotting their enemy's demise
 With their last detail done, they await the coming sun
 While I am staring in my lover's eyes
 Her brothers and her sisters are all through for tonight
 Pretending that they've just come to power
 But she, far most of all, knows that they can only fall
 In my darkest hour
 Hungry wings, their melodies, while my love awakens me
 In the midst of the sunburst first light
 And her hands are holding up the skies as I hid my opened eyes
 Every move just for herself, and that's so right
 Soon I went along my way with no words that could explain
 As she began descending to the tower
 Her safety now concerns me, her circumstance to blame
 In my darkest hour
