bob pendarvis: song lyrics

this song is based on one of the most famous ghost stories of st. simons island. my dad had already written a song about mary the wanderer, so i picked the story of the famous light in the graveyard. this track was relatively easy to write, but it was also the most difficult to record. i think i ultimately finished about a dozen different complete mixes. i hope i picked the right one for you guys...

she was afraid
so very afraid
she was afraid
of the dark

when the sun grew dim
she could count on him
to help keep her safe
from the dark

candles would be found
then placed all around
shining a light
in the dark

she cried and cried
on the day she died
she was afraid
of the dark

years have passed on
now he too is gone
but she's not afraid
of the dark

near Christ church at night
she still sees a light
a light shining brightly
in the dark
