“It Was A Dark and Stormy Night” Lyrics
Posted in Lyrics by Five Iron Frenzy
It was a dark and stormy night last night.
bitter dark.
Rain fell in torrents,
stabbing it’s ghosts through the cold,
and straight through our hearts.I’ve been waiting, in halfhearted sleep,
For a promise I half meant to keep.
Just for hoping that hope still flies,
wipe the sleep out of our sleeping eyes.Fog that is lifting,
the spectre of dreams we once had,
speaks into the night,
Slumber is over,
sunlight is streaming through,
come into the light.I know,
Hope has not forgotten me,
I know,
I’m waking from the longest dream.“It Was A Dark and Stormy Night”

So Excited you guys are back! Been waiting for sooo long! Try and make it to Atlanta if you can!
+1 on Atlanta!!!
I started listening to you guys right around the time the band was formed. You’ve been my favorite band every since! Was supposed to go to the last show, but tragic-ness (horrid airfares from AK) kept me from it. One of the worst days of my life – and this is one of the best!!
I may have thought about hyperventilating a bit when I heard this news…
All the best, guys!
You’ve still got it.
Anyone else getting an error on the email link?

@Liam: I’m getting that error prompt as well.
I’m getting that as well..
Set a new goal! 200k.
If there was ever a time for you guys to come back, it’s now when the world is looking so dark. I love you guys, and so do the rest of your fans. In case you couldn’t tell. Thanks for sharing your hope with us again
I am so pumped for this! There has been a big black hole in the world since you guys disbanded and now that you’re back, well THIS IS THE BEST FREAKIN’ DAY EVER!
if FIF is back, for even a fleeting second, a blink of an eye, or a New York Minute, then there is HOPE.
StrongBad used to say…
Ohhhh…
If you want to be possessive
Then it’s just “I-T-S”
But if you use a contraction
Then it’s “I-T-apostrophe-S”…
…scalawag.
I love you guys.
Thank you… this was bothering me.
I got to see FIF live only once, on the final tour. Can’t wait for the second chance I never thought I’d get!
I’m liking this song, but I find it interesting how poppy it is. There are still some excellent horns and rhythm, of course, but despite this it takes after modern pop/rock music much moreso than ska. I’ll be curious whether the rest of the album follows this path as well.
Here’s a question! Hope I haven’t missed someone else ask it and that someone sees it: Is it Leanor/Jeff singing harmony over Reese in the new song? Reese’s wife? Just wonderin. She sounds great whoever it is! I’m so stoked about the news/new song! I’m from the generation of fans who got into you guys right when you broke up so this has been a bit of a dream come true
so true!!!
just like you, I got into fif around 2005, when you broke up!
I’m so excited, can’t wait to hear the new album!!!
PD: please, someday come to Chile!!!
that’ll be the awesomest thing ever!
blessings!
(sorry my poor english xD)
