Laura Veirs - When It Grows Darkest lyrics

When you're out in the sticks And you're all but lost The sun is dead In a world of frost Follow Polaris On the Northern route When it grows darkest The stars come out They've beaten you down And you can't get up Stolen your horses And they smashed your cup Look up above There can be no doubt When it grows darkest The stars come out You harness the light The lookout glows Gather the children And hold them close And teach of love (teach of love) And peace devout (and peace devout) When it grows darkest The stars come out When it grows darkest The stars come out When it grows darkest The stars come out
