Darker Places lyrics

To the church he was a sinner To the sinners he was a saint My dad's only brother I just called him frank He spent most of his time In honky-tonk's and bars He could quote the good book Or he could show you scars To a fourteen year old boy He was a walk'n mystery I'd ask him about those friends of his And he'd say to me You can't save a soul that's already been saved You can't help a drown'n man from watching from the bank You gotta get out there with 'em Look 'em in their eye and see their faces Cause you know a candle shines much brighter In darker places Three years ago today He left us all here Stand'n on a hillside Fight'n back the tears It was quite a congregation From all walks of life Preachers and drunkards Skin both black and white He got us all together Just like he said it's 'posed to be One last time frank try'n to make us see You can't save a soul that's already been saved You can't help a drown'n man from watching from the bank You gotta get out there with 'em Look 'em in their eye and see their faces Cause you know a candle shines much brighter In darker places You can't save a soul that's already been saved You can't help a drown'n man from watching from the bank You gotta get out there with 'em Look 'em in their eye and see their faces Cause you know a candle shines much brighter Yeah you know a candle shines much brighter In darker places In darker places
