In the cold and dreary night
I saw a bright light
And like a lost moth, I fell for you.
It was a dream come true.
Too good to be true.
No! Can't think like that.
Don't you know
It can come true?
Knock on wood, I murmur half asleep
As fears of betrayal dig trenches in my mind
It must be true.
Don't think like that.
But me? Surely there's been a mistake.
I just want to hear your voice in my ear
So I can pretend you're with me here.
I feel so at home beside you.
I'm so lonely here without you.
It's coming true!
Please don't go...
Rewind and find the way to say
I mean no harm, it'll be okay!
As the bright light slips away
Leaving darkness in its place,
Is there anybody out there?...
