Acoustic Guitar - Embrace the Dark - Cathy and James Wetzel

This is a song my mom wrote, and she is Cathy. More to come :)

I was home this weekend so we recorded it together!

Lyrics:

Embrace the dark
Welcome the night
That drips and sticks
Like tar on ice

Embrace the dark
That clouds the brain
That sinks the spirit
In earth and pain

Embrace the dark
That finds you here
Alone and bent
And filled with fear

Embrace the dark
Enfold the night
Without the dark
There'd be no light

The sun will rise
And heat the day
Scorch your eyes
You seek the shade

Waves of heat
On the street
Buckling cement
Burning feet

Thirst is strong
Lips are parched
Fan can't cool
When air is hot

Bleach the colors
Into white
It's oppressive,
Unrelenting light

Embrace the dark
Quiet relief
Still and stark
A hard-won belief

Embrace the dark
Cool air on skin
Pull down the shade
Let the healing begin

Afternoon then evening comes
Slowly, slowly falls the sun
Shadows long
And longer still
Eat 'till they have had their fill

The moon once faded
A pale bland orb
Hidden by day's overpowering glow
Shines like life begun anew
Pulls the world like the tide to you

Embrace the dark
Behold the night
That's not silence you hear
It's the heart beat of life

Embrace the dark
And don't lose sight
It's just dark
It's not the absence of light.
