Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground Lyrics

Gov't Mule Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground

Dark was the night and cold was the ground

Blue on one side, black is on the other
We all see red, it's defining our color
Are we in a hurry to see what happens in the end?
If we don't find a new start, the end is nigh, my friend

Dark was the night and cold was the ground

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh, yeah, cold was the ground

Rue the day that we can't live together
Cuts so deep that they keep bleeding forever
Are we so blind, can't see the road ahead
Traveling to somewhere, we'd be better off dead

Are we so hungry for the old days
That we'd actually go back in time?
Relive all the negativity that took us so long to live down
Memories of kings and queens that were buried in the past
Seem like the ghost a-rising up
Rising up, rising up
Pullin' us back

Dark was the night and cold was the ground

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh
Cold was the ground
