  • Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
  • Rare demo originally recorded sometime between 1986 and 1988.
    Written by Max Barnes and Keith Whitley.
    The demo has much more emotion to the pain Whitley sought to capture compared to the remastered version. This is perhaps one of the saddest songs to which a person can relate.
    EDIT: 11 October 2022, LYRICS. For anyone experiencing this pain, I hope you receive God's comfort and can pull through.
    For you, the light is shining bright
    Out with your good-timing friends.
    But here, in my world tonight,
    For me, the light is growing dim.
    Blind and afraid of the dark.
    Broken and falling apart.
    When you left, you left my heart.
    Blind and afraid of the dark.
    For me, the nights have no end
    Here in the dark all alone.
    The sun will never shine again
    In my heart now that you're gone.
    Blind and afraid of the dark.
    Broken and falling apart.
    When you left, you left my heart.
    Blind and afraid of the dark.
    Blind and afraid of the dark.
    Broken and falling apart.
    When you left, you left my heart.
    Blind and afraid of the dark.

    I think when he says "when you left you left my heart blind and afraid of the dark" has got to be one of the saddest parts of ANY song ever recorded.

    Scott Nowak, this song has special meaning for me, I can't thank you enough. This song helped me thru a really rough time when my son passed away back in 2018 and then it was gone!!!! Appreciate it.

      Hi Carol. I am very sorry to hear of your son's passing 2 years ago and offer my condolences. I'm glad this song helped you out during that time. I don't mean to be rude, but do you mind me asking how your son passed away?

    had he release it back in 1982 with his sad songs and Waltzes album it probably could have been one of the really good songs of that album because from what I remember was told that album was a huge failure. To me none of his songs were a failure but it don't matter what I think. I love to hear more demos if there are any more.

      @@scottnowak6162 yeah and the title is kind of ironic given that he had such a great reputation as a person himself and with that word as the title must have been hard for him to sing that song . I'll be watching everyday to see if you have any more demos.
