lyrics

Lyrics to Hope below:

When the night falls at five
And the clock turns upwards
When the moon shines alive
Over the ravens and the shipyards
In the darkest hour I can see the dawn
In the darkest hour I can see the dawn
Shine on, shine on
There is work to be done in the night before dawn

I can see new hope in the crimson night
New hope, turning wrong to right
In the darkest hour I can see the dawn
In the darkest hour I can see the dawn
Shine on, shine on
There is work to be done in the night before dawn

When you’ve mined for false gold
In tin-man hearted dreams
When promises lie broken shells
bruised darker than they seemed
When you drink red wine
To heaven’s sacrament and sacred wound
Tides that sailors tell can kill
Sirens’ tantalizing tunes

Oh build me a sailboat to sail far from here
A trapeze to bite the breeze
A key to turn this fear
Let’s leave the long island
Jump the plank to the pier
Weep in thanks when we wake
If the current shakes us clear
From shipwrecked doors, liquid cures
Dreaming of the shore
Now on the road, carry coal
To the other side of More
Diamonds in mind
Broken shells with bleeding yokes
From the shadow at your side
From hopelessness comes hope

I can see new hope in the crimson night
New hope, turning wrong to right
In the darkest hour I can see the dawn
In the darkest hour I can see the dawn
Shine on, shine on
There is work to be done in the night before dawn

We are wedding rings in water
Lilies bowing down to fall
Glaciers turning into rivers
Loons returning every call
We are reflecting on the water
In which we willingly will drown
In the darkest hour, we are the water
In the darkest hour we wear the dawn

In the darkest hour, we fear the dawn
In the darkest hour, we are the dawn

about

Erika Kulnys Nova Scotia

"...ingenious intellect and activist zeal of Ani DiFranco with the poetic skepticism of Leonard Cohen, Kulnys is cementing her place in history...ballad-aesthetic of Tori Amos...craftsmanship vast as the Atlantic. Spin the cheekiness of Dolly Parton with overt sexuality of Kinnie Starr, and toe-tapping rhythms of Colleen Power to conjure up her multi-dimensional talents.” - Shannon Webb-Campbell ... more
