Dark the night and long til day   Do not bid us further stray   Dark the night and long til day   Do not bid us further stray      Now the sun it does decline   Pour the beer and pour the wine   Let us lead your thoughts astray   From the world and from the day      Dark the night and long til day   Do not bid us further stray      We bring songs from history   Love and war and mystery   We can lead you from despair   Or can chill the darkening air      Dark the night and long til day   Do not bid us further stray      And you can choose to pass us by   With a cruel or a scornful eye   We shall see the ending through   Then we'll turn and say to you      Dark the night and long til day   Do not bid us further stray   Dark the night and long til day   Do not bid us further stray   Dark the night and long til day   Do not bid us further stray
