In The Darkest Place Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Ozquonk 

Cover art for In The Darkest Place lyrics by Elvis Costello

In many songs Elvis has such an intimacy with the sadness of this "darkest place". Imagine finding your way by the glimmer of the torch you hold for the lover who has abandoned you? Yes, the darkest place is familiar to me and Elvis communicates it so well. Just look at God Give Me Strength for a similar refrain with anger and bitterness.
