He Dark The Sun Lyrics
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
It was not so long ago
Maybe just a year or so
When I was lonely
And when looking for someone
Way down south in New Orleans
Just a-lookin' for a dream
And that's when I found him
That's where it all begun
He was there on that night
Said for you I know I'm right
I'll be with you until my race is run
He walked into my life
With his cold evil eyes
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
Well my memory cannot speak
And oh Lord I'm feeling weak
But I blame it on the fact that I was young
Though I know it may sound strange
There is no way I can change
What my fate has laid out for me now is done
He was there on that night
Said for you I know I'm right
I'll be with you until my race is run
He walked into my life
With his cold evil eyes
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
He dark the sun
It was not so long ago
Maybe just a year or so
When I was lonely
And when looking for someone
Way down south in New Orleans
Just a-lookin' for a dream
And that's when I found him
That's where it all begun
Said for you I know I'm right
I'll be with you until my race is run
He walked into my life
With his cold evil eyes
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
And oh Lord I'm feeling weak
But I blame it on the fact that I was young
Though I know it may sound strange
There is no way I can change
What my fate has laid out for me now is done
Said for you I know I'm right
I'll be with you until my race is run
He walked into my life
With his cold evil eyes
And with the length of his mind
He dark the sun
He dark the sun

I love when the drums kick in after "that's where it all begun..."
A primordial text about a woman mistreated. A wrenching soul-cry from a broken heart - set to great American country-rock.
The deceiver/abuser is depicted in satanic terms.
Did he get her hooked on drugs? Did he cause her soul to wither and die? Has she been pushed to the point of murdering him?
A dark and powerful gem of a song.
[I always thought it was "He DARKED the sun (?)] The quirky grammar is part of why this song made such an impression on me.
It's like a Zen koan: "With the length of his mind he darked the sun".
