The Sweet Face of Darkness

Chris Stevens

Episode 4.02, "Midnight Sun"

Who would've thought such a slight tilt in our earthly axis could make such a big difference in our lives? The big wheel keeps on turning and here we are again, looking in the sweet face of darkness.

Now the day is over,
night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
steal across the sky.

A KBHR caution to all our loyal listeners: you know tonight marks the end of our collective midsummer night's dream, so get those pupils ready to dilate, because for the first time in a long time, our constant companion, old Sol, is about to go on a quickie vacation, a short dip beneath the horizon, a junket to whichever Club Med accommodates medium-sized stars. While he's gone, I want you to be alert, be careful, and please, please, please, three times please, turn on your headlights.

[Listen to the tune and read the rest of the words to the hymn Chris quotes, "Now the Day is Over" or listen to Shawn Colvin's version at FreeNapster.]
