  • In the dark of the night
    Those small hours
    Uncertain and anxious
    I need to call you

    Rooms full of strangers
    Some call me friend
    But I wish you were so close to me

    In the dark of night
    Those small hours
    I drift away
    When I'm with you

    In the dark of night
    By my side
    In the dark of night
    By my side
    I wish you were
    I wish you were

    Here comes the clown
    His face is a wall
    No window
    No air at all

    In the dark of night
    These faces they haunt me
    But I wish you were
    So close to me

    In the dark of night
    By my side
    In the dark of night
    By my side
    I wish you were
    I wish you were
    In the dark of night

    By my side
    In the dark of night
    By my side
    I wish you were
    I wish you were

    In the dark of night
    These faces they haunt me
    Well, I wish you were so close to me

    Yes, I wish you were
