Elvis Costello - In The Darkest Place Lyrics






In the darkest place
I know
That is where you'll find me
Even though you didn't have to remind me
I shut out the lights
Your eyes adjust
They'll never be the same
You know I love you so
Lets start again

Since you put me down
It seems
I've been very gloomy
You may laugh, but pretty girls look right through me
They don't sense the faintest glimmering
That is the torch I bear
There's light enough for me to find my way

But I only have to tell myself that by now
You could be with someone else
Is there light beneath your door and
Laughter from within?

Do your friends come around
Saying, "Try to find another lover"?
He won't love you like I do

In the darkest place
I'm lost
I have abandoned every hope
Maybe you'll understand I must
Shut out the light

Your eyes adjust
They'll never be the same
You know I love you so
Lets start again

Do your friends come around
Saying, "Try to find another lover"?
He won't love you like I do

In the darkest place
That is where you'll find me
In the darkest place
That is where you'll find me

Elvis Costello In The Darkest Place Comments
  1. C.... A....

    What brought me here was Daniel Silva's book Moscow Rules. He mentions the song that Gabriel Allon would play as he restored a great work of art from the Vatican.

  2. L.... S....

    Master Class meravigliosi .

  3. K.... Y....

    Todella HYVÄ biisi!!!

  4. j.... ....

    Music doesn't get much more heartfelt and beautiful than this... by the way, the end of the song reminds me of In the Final Hours by Richard Harris and Jimmy Webb

  5. D.... T....

    Such Classy Music...Thank you Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach.

  6. P.... L....

    Always a Bacharach fan, I never thought Burt would able find another writing partner to rival that of Hal David, but here, with Elvis Costello, the songwriting is just as strong! Painted from Memory is in my TOP 10 all time favorite albums list for sure. The the exceptional playing of the notes on the page, the well written and hauntingly sung lyrics, the production, all come together to make this gorgeously sad, yet beautiful and timeless music.

    P.... L....

    I totally agree!

  7. E.... o....

    I agree 100% the painted from memory album was wonderful. It left me speechless yet I felt every word of each song as if I was the singing it myself. And actually if were honest with our selves we have been there. I have been in the light & the darkest of places over love yet I have been able to grow from each experience but that is not to say I suffered so. I loved deeply, sometimes I wonder if m cowardice has stopped me from feeling that good again. Sometimes we hold onto to our pain so we never suffer like that again.Hm as i talk about it, I remember that pain. I just love Elvis Costello his music is very inspirational & has helped me heal overtime.

  8. H.... T....

    This album "Painted From Memory" saved me during my second divorce. The lyrics are truly awe-inspiring and Mr. Bacharach's music and arrangements are, as always, just incredible. I always wondered why there was never a second album. But you cannot improve on perfection. Each song is a truly remarkable experience. Thank you Mr. Costello and Mr. Bacharach!! Indeed!
