|
I have a mandolin, I play it all night long |
|
It makes me want to kill myself |
|
I also have a Dobro, made in some mountain range |
|
Sounds like a mountain range in love |
|
But when I turn up the tone on my electric guitar |
|
I'm afraid of the dark |
|
Without you close to me |
|
I'm afraid of the dark |
|
Without you close to me |
|
I went out to the forest and caught |
|
A 100,000 fireflies |
|
As they ricochet 'round my room |
|
They remind me of your starry eyes |
|
Someone else's might not have made me so sad |
|
But this is the worst night I ever had |
|
'Cause I'm afraid of the dark |
|
Without you close to me |
|
I'm afraid of the dark |
|
Without you close to me |
|
Always close |
|
You won't be happy with me |
|
But give me one more chance |
|
You won't be happy anyway |
|
Why do we still live here |
|
In this repulsive town? |
|
All our friends are in New York |
|
Why do we keep shrieking |
|
When we mean soft things? |
|
We should be whispering all the time |
