Album: For the Sake of The Song

Song Information:

On August 14, 2003 the power went out all over Northeastern North America. My family unexpectedly had a lovely quiet time at home during the power blackout. We had a barbecue, played games together, and watched the Persiad meteor shower from our back yard. It was a clear night and the stars were more vivid than I've ever seen because there was no light leakage from our cities and towns. That night, I wrote this song by the light of a flashlight. Where were you when the lights went out?

Lyrics:
"Dark Beauty"
(Sean McGaughey)

August 14-15, 2003S. McGaughey
Composed by flashlight during blackout of 2003
G- G-5- Em Em7- A7- A7 D- D7
or
C C9 Am -Am7 D7- D7- G G7

It's dark outside,
Darkest in a hundred years
But our heart fires will burn brightly
As long as you are here

I see your beauty framed
In the flashlight's glow
while the crickets sing their songs of love
So soft and low

No Matter how black it gets,
In the darkest night
As long as we're together
Our home is filled with light

I hear my little girl sing songs
and make castles made of light
I walk across the floor and hold her tight

The star field makes a dance floor
for a roving satellite
As we sit our on the lawn
and watch the symphony of night

No Matter how black it gets,
In the darkest night
As long as we're together
Our home is filled with light

It's dark outside,
Darkest in a hundred years
But our heart fires will burn brightly
As long as you are here
