Long Dark Road - Hollies, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Long Dark Road (Hollies, The, 1972). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2023-10-01. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"Long Dark Road," written by Tony Hicks and Kenny Lynch, was the Hollies' 10th top 40 hit rising to no. 26 in the winter of 1972 (Whitburn, 2013). Graham Nash had left the band in 1968 to help form Crosby , Stills & Nash, and Terry Sylvester replaced Nash on guitar and vocals (callmefred, 2023). Gary Brooker (of Procol Harum fame) played organ and piano for the recording of the song (wikipedia, 2023). The song can be found as the last track on the 1971 album Distant Light, which was the highest charting album for the Hollies; it rose to the no. 21 position on the Billboard 200 Albums chart in 1972 (Whitburn, 2006).

Lyrics:
It's over, well over
In my mind and in my heart
It's over, well over
But then again, it didn't have a good start
You'd tell me, try to sell me
It could have been all I asked
It's over, well over
It's there and flows away a distant past
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
Now it's a long, dark road
Yes, a long, dark road
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
It's over, well over
And we can't revive what's past
It's gone now, moved on now
But then again it didn't have a chance to last
No, no, no, a chance to last
Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
And you know I loved you
Yes, you know I loved you
Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road) (Baby, I need you, I need you)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Now it's a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
Yes, a long, dark road (It's a long, very long, road)
