Oh little light that shines 
Put down your shuttle love and come to the blind 
The night is hissing like a mad, mad snake 
The clouds are rolling in, and the storm is right behind 

Oh little hand in my hand 
Ah the madness of a world is on the move 
The wind is crashing like it's blind, drunk and angry 
And feeling in the dark for a poor man's door 

Drowned dog, black night, drowned dog, black night 
Tie down whatever's loose, nail those shutters tight 
Oh there'll be nothing left at all at the end of a black 
night 

Oh my comfort and joy 
Why should we turn and run like all the rest 
Let us put to our intentions now 
Be like if tomorrow's sun should rise in the west 

Drowned dog, black night, drowned dog, black night 
Tie down whatever's loose, nail those shutters tight 
And there'll be nothing left at all at the end of a black 
night
