Lyrics
In My Hour Of Darkness
Written by Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris
In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
Oh lord grant me vision, Oh lord grant me speed
Once I knew a young man
(Who) went driving through the night
Miles and miles without a word
But just his high beam lights
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
To be so strong, to take so long as it would 'til the end
To be so strong, to take so long as it would 'til the end
Chorus:
In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
Oh lord grant me vision
Oh lord grant me speed
Another young man safely strung his silver stringed guitar
And he played to people everywhere
Some say he was a star
But he was just a country boy his simple songs confess
And the music he had in him so very few possess
And the music he had in him so very few possess
Chorus:
In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
Oh lord grant me vision
Oh lord grant me speed
Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
He read me just like a book and he never missed a page
And I loved him like my father, and I loved him like my friend
And I knew that his time would shortly come but I did not know just when
And I knew that his time would shortly come but I did not know just when
In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
Oh lord grant me vision
Oh lord grant me speed
Oh lord grant me vision
Oh lord grant me speed…
