Johnny Cash I See A Darkness Lyrics:
Well, you're my friend and can you see,
Many times we've been out drinkin',
Many times we've shared our thoughts,
But did you ever, ever notice the kind of thoughts I got?

Well, you know I have a love, a love for everyone I know.
And you know I have a drive to live, I won't let go.
But can you see this opposition comes risin' up sometimes,
That its dreadful imposition comes blacking in my mind?

(And that I see a darkness.)
(And that I see a darkness.)
(And that I see a darkness.)
(And that I see a darkness.)
(Did you know how much I love you?)
(Is a hope that somehow you,)
(Can save me from this darkness.)

Well, I hope that someday, buddy, we have peace in our lives.
Together or apart, alone or with our wives.
And we can stop our whoring and pull the smiles inside.
And light it up forever and never go to sleep.
My best unbeaten brother, this isn't all I see.

(Oh, no, I see a darkness.)

[1] Will Oldham, a.k.a. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (born 24 December 1970
in Louisville, Kentucky), is an American singer, songwriter, and actor.
He is known for his "do-it-yourself punk aesthetic and blunt honesty,"
and his music has been likened to Americana, folk, roots, country, punk,
and indie rock, although Oldham is dissatisfied with these labels. He
thinks it’s not "roots music," though he admits it is influenced by
Western popular music." He has been called an "Appalachian post-punk
solipsist" [4] and is notable for "his unique voice--a fragile sort-of
warble frittering around haunted melodies in the American folk or
country tradition.]

[2] Oldham sings with Cash on the lyrics in parentheses.]
