Mary's Song (How Dark the Night) - Nerina Pallot

At first when I woke I thought I dreamt

His eyes aflame, a soul unkempt

Heavy the burden of one small light

Oh how dark the night

Crossing the land, we did not speak

We clutched him within and prayed he’d keep

The greatest of secrets and lights too bright

Oh how dark the night

Yet would I love him all again?

Yet would I witness God’s own name?

Given from man, from man to slight

Oh how dark the night

Oh how dark the night
