Standard (EADGBE)

 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

Chorus

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

Chorus
