In My Hour Of Darkness

Gram Parsons

In my hour of darkness, in my time of need

Oh Lord, grant me wisdom oh, Lord grant me speed

Once I knew a young man 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 last so long as it would till the end



Another young man safely, strummed his silver stringed guitar

He played to people ev'rywhere 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.

But in my hour of darkness...



The there was an old man kind and wise with age

And he read me just like a book never missed a page

And loved him like a father, and I loved him like my friend

And I knew his time could shortly come but I did not know just when.

In my hour of darkness...
