| 作曲 : Armatrading, Nestor | |
| I was very sad last night | |
| You came by | |
| I was so glad though sadness covered | |
| The smile I kept for you | |
| I was waiting for the cloud to pass over | |
| Then I could show my love | |
| You could have made me laugh if you'd stayed | |
| But you left | |
| I was more confused than I was before you came | |
| I was frightened | |
| I saw insanity and tears | |
| I shouted for you to stay | |
| It could have been better | |
| If you had held my hand | |
| And smiled at me | |
| Or questioned why | |
| My face was so distorted | |
| I'm back in the sunlight again | |
| Oh I'm so glad | |
| It's only joy I wanna give to you | |
| Sometimes I feel lost and desperate | |
| Please forgive me | |
| If I show no sign of reasoning | |
| Or consideration | |
| In my bleaker times |
