Starless and Bible-Black


Said Job's Wife to Job:

"The candles in the churches are out,
The stars have gone out of the sky
Blow on the soft coals of the heart
And we'll see by and by."

Archibald Macleish


In Your Darkest Hour

In your lonely room
In your darkest hour
Think of me darling
You're my desire
In your lonely room
In your darkest hour
Honey call on me

I took a dark road
'Til I found the sun
Nobody loved me
Like my baby'd done
In your lonely room
In your darkest hour
Won't you call on me

You're gonna find me
On the rough side of town
Look for me darlin'
When your blues come down
In your lonely room
In your darkest hour
Please call on me

Stand at your window
Another lonesome dawn
Remember the good times, baby
Honey come back home
In your lonely room
In your darkest hour
You can call on me
Call on me, baby
Charles Musselwhite
