Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris In My Hour of Darkness Lyrics

In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
Oh, Lord grant me vision
Oh, Lord grant me speed

Once I knew a young man went driving through the night
Miles and miles without a word, with just his high-beam lights
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
To be so strong, to take as long as it would till the end

{Refrain}

Another young man safely strummed his silver string guitar
And he played to people everywhere, some say he was a star
But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess
And the music he had in him, so very few possess

{Refrain}

Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page
And I loved him like my father, and I loved him like my friend
And I knew his time would shortly come but I did not know just when

{Refrain}

Oh, Lord grant me vision
Oh, Lord grant me speed
