I have heard the echoes in the dark   Dim and distant voices of the past   And I've seen so far into the night   And lingered in the land of no light      Far beyond the   Shrouded hours of dawn   Through the mist   Of daybreak I was borne   But the day was   Clouded still by night   Leaving me in the land of no light      Though I'd love to   Say hello to you   You might have to wait awhile   To say goodbye   For it must end as it began   And then start again      The day of darkness   Comes to every man   And lingers while he   Reaches out his hand   And he cannot know how it will end   Till he finds out if he has a friend   A friend ...
