[Chorus]
Dark the night and long till day
Do not bid us further stray
Dark the night and long till day
Do not bid us further stray

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Dark the night and long till day
Do not bid us further stray

[Verse 2]
We bring songs from history
Love and war and mystery
We can lead you from despair
Or can chill the darkening air

[Chorus]
Dark the night and long till day
Do not bid us further stray
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Dark the night and long till day
Do not bid us further stray
Dark the night and long till day
Do not bid us further stray
Dark the night and long till day
Do not bid us further stray
