Time Of Dark
Tune-yards

I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal

I feel you carrying me under a blanket of coal


Living in the time of dark

And I don't dare to look very far

Young man

She's just a whisper

Step too loud, the sound of the ground

Will just eclipse her


I leave all my doubts behind

(See through me)

I'll give up my sight

I'll tear it out so I can see the signs

My steps are small

(See through me)

Walking blind

Spinning to the clouds

Hoping I don't choke on all the truth that they bring


[Chorus:]

See me over the mountain

I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal

See me over the mountain, yeah

I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal

If you see me to the darkest time

There'll never be a mountain that I cannot climb

See me over the mountain

I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal


See right through me to the sky

Down is up and up is down

A crumble climbing high

I've met you twice before

When you put breath in my lungs when my own kin had me gagged

When you taught me to breathe underwater

When I had myself drowned


So don't cry

It's nothing

(See through me)

Even in silence

There are voices who will sing

(See through me)

But oh little child

Understand a single thing

Your music's in your pocket

With the power you can even imagine

It will bring


[Chorus:]

See me over the mountain

I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal

Won't you see me over this mountain

I feel you carrying me under a blanket of coal

If you see me to the darkest time

There'll never be a mountain I'm not willing to climb

See me over the mountain

I know you're carrying me under a blanket of coal


Hey hey hey, hey-o

(Hey hey hey, hey-o...)


See through me

See me over this mountain, yeah


Living in the time of dark

And I don't dare to look very far
