Bad news comes late at night
From a ringing telephone
No trumpet's blare, just tears are there
And they come on their own
Memories flash; hope is lost
Your stomach turns to stone
Your anger has nowhere to stand
And so you stand alone
Bad news comes like a storm at sea
When there's no sign of shore
You don't know where to turn to now
You don't even pace the floor
The endless night is all you see
There is no sign of dawn
The reason for your life is gone
Yet you must carry on
You'll never be the same again
That much you know for sure
Pain invades your ev'ry breath
And for that there is no cure
Indeed there is no end in sight
No light, no burning wood
And you won't believe me when I say
You did all that you could
And I can't change the world for you
But I would do most any task
So if there's anything you need
All you have to do is ask
James H. Webb
