Dark Ness

[SA]

The leaves are waving bye
The birds don't crowd the benches
Some furs have jumped on necks
Others have hit the trenches

The light is fading fast
White flies are on their way
How long will this one last
Will I awaken grey

I hope the squirrels wake me
They have the most light fun
I want to share the light with them
I want to hear - You're fine

For now I must prepare
Dark Ness is almost here
No Chable's Tokyo could stall her
No cups of Have No Fear

I know you want a dole
You want to share my time
But sorry, you can't have any
This Dark Ness, she's all mine




(Sorry, haven't stopped here in a couple of years. Just spent an hour or so going through and really enjoyed a lot of the work here.)

I like it, something very honest, and the rhythm is beautiful and simple
I love the first two verses especially, its nostalgic somehow

(P.S. Do you remember this show??)

Thank you yakksoho and cherub.

Can't recall the cartoon though, sorry.

The cartoon was called Happy Ness, it was about Loch Ness monsters that had different adjectives ending with -ness to their names (such as Happy Ness, Cool Ness, &c). It was from the early 90s, I was suddenly reminded of it for the first time in 15 years! ^-^
