about

Some areas of the countryside are now set apart as Dark Sky Parks. There is a restriction on street lighting in order to preserve somewhere to experience the night and see the wonderful planets and stars.

lyrics

Dark Sky Park
(Words and Music: Ray Cooper)

I know a place I'll take you there
Far from this bright crowded fair
I'll take you to the darkest place I know
So dark that Venus casts a shadow

They gathered all the dark that's left
And drove it to this lonely place
We'll stand beneath a million tiny stars
And know that all this summer night is ours

We'll walk along the ash grey roads
And visit Dark Sky Park tonight

We can see beyond this world
And watch the universe unfold
And near those tiny points of distant light
We know that other eyes look up tonight

They'll wonder if there is someone
On this third rock from the sun tonight

They know that we are not alone
We're just so far from home
They want to meet they want to share
The love we're feeling now right here

And walk along the ash grey roads
And visit Dark Sky Park tonight
And visit Dark Sky Park tonight
And visit Dark Sky Park
