[Verse 1]

I went down to see my guy just after midday

The lights were out in the cold house and her brown eyes looked grey

Somehow

Somehow

Too caught up in the city rush, I could not hear or see

The call of the one I love, though she called so desperately

Somehow

Somehow

[Chorus]

Darkness is a woman and she's bathed in frankincense

She's wild like the river and her lies are hard to mend

Yes, her lies are hard to mend

[Verse 2]

We sat there in the heavy air and I tried to find a wolf

To promise her we'd find the cure for her hurt

Somehow

Somehow

[Bridge]

I see it now

I hear it now

We're gonna beat it somehow

Somehow

Somehow

Somehow

Somehow

[Chorus]

Darkness is a woman and she's bathed in frankincense

She's wild like the river and her lies are hard to mend

Yes, her lies are hard to mend

Her lies are hard to mend
