Dwight Yoakam - The Darkest Hour Lyrics






The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn.

The saddest soul is thinking
Of a day that's almost gone
Still darkness falls around me
And we must journey on.

[Chorus x3:]
Like a shepherd out on the mountain
A-watching his sheep down below
He's coming back to claim us
Will you be ready to go?

    Love Dwight's version.  I'm adding this to my playlist.

  13. R.... C....

    This is Ralph Stanley singing harmony, with Dwight as his guest, from the Clinch Mountain Country album.
    Dwight puts a great high-lonesome bluegrass "scald" (as Ralph says) on it, as his roots (thankfully) betray.

  14. S.... ....

    Thanks for sharing this Dwight song. Dwight Yoakam is my favourite country musician next to the late Johnny Cash.

  22. m.... ....

    Dwight's twang is gorgeous on this song.  I noticed on 3 Pears that he's lost some of that but his voice and songs are just as gorgeous.  Hope he puts out a new album soon.
    Thanks for posting this.

    wow wow wow  

  24. p.... ....

    Razzle dazzle

  25. S.... H....

    "Beautiful"

  26. B.... S....

    This version of 'The Darkest Hour' appears on Disc Two of the CD Set entitled: "Clinch Mountain Country" - Ralph Stanley and Friends. I too prefer this performance of this song a slight bit over the version that was featured in Dwight's film "South of Heaven West of Hell" and on the soundtrack CD from the film. Of course since Dwight sings in both versions, there are both exceptional performances.

  27. f.... ....

    Stanly is singing with Dwight.

  28. j.... g....

    beautiful, as always.

  29. T.... Q....

    thank you yoakam. for all of these.

    I love this version of Dwight's. He has the most soulful voice in Country Music!

  31. L.... B....
