|
The grey of evening fills the room, |
|
There's no need to look outside, |
|
To see or feel the rain. |
|
Then I reach across to touch her, |
|
But I know that she's not there. |
|
Rain keeps running down the window pane. |
|
Time is running out for me. |
|
Can't you see what you are doing to me? |
|
Can't you see what you have done? |
|
As I try to pass another long and sleepless night, |
|
A hundred crazy voices call my name, |
|
As I try to pass them by, |
|
I almost can believe that she is here, |
|
Here in the glow of the night. |
|
Do you know what you have done? |
|
Do you know what you've begun? |
|
Do you see we shall never be together again? |
|
All of my life. |
|
Lonely people, empty rooms, |
|
Pointless violence, silent tombs. |
|
Could it be that we shall be together again? |
|
Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night, |
|
Only foreign city sirens can cut through, |
|
Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold. |
|
But they can't keep out the chilling sounds. |
|
Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming |
|
That she is here with me? |
|
Here in the glow of the night. |
|
Do you know what you have done? |
|
Do you know what you've begun? |
|
Do you see we shall never be together again? |
|
All of my life. |
|
Lonely people, empty rooms, |
|
Pointless violence, silent tombs. |
|
Could it be that we shall be together again? |
|
Could it be that we shall be together again? |
|
In silence and darkness |
|
We held each other near that night |
|
We prayed it would last forever. |
|
The Last Domino |
