Darkening Sky Lyrics

oh, come with me, forever, my love
under the darkening sky
come hide with me
i'll save you, my love
hear me, i beg for your life

her hair is damp
her skin has turned cold
there's hardly a sound as she breathes
oh stay, my love, please open your eyes
and promise me you'll never leave

oh, my love
stay my love

hey angel there over her head
tell me the time hasn't come
have mercy please, on the one that i love
her body's too weary to run

and suddenly, a thunderous sound
like wings that have taken flight
straight up, straight out
from under the ground
she's gone in the darkening sky

oh, my love
stay my love
oh, my love
stay my love

high on the wind, the angels they fly
hovering over her grave
i'll dig this hole as deep as my love
and bury her memory away
and bury her memory away

oh, my love
oh, my love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sad. So sad. I have been dating this older guy for a while until I found out while my parents found out what kind of person he really was although I try to be his friend. All I can think of is how he left his wife and family. She stuck it out with him for I think more than 40 years all together. And it brings tears to my eyes because all I can think when I hear this is how he left her to die alone and she waited all these years out of love, and I didn’t know I just didn’t know both sides until later and I feel like a terrible human being. But really he’s not a very good person not the one I thought it was. I feel sad for her and what he’s done to her this song makes me cry he should be there for her
