Black as night I try to move
My feet don't leave the ground
About midnight, I'm in the groove
But you are nowhere to be found

My heart is beating faster
As I stumble through my door
Trying to forget the disaster
That you chose to ignore

Those many hospital trips
That turned into a stay
But not a word from my lips
Would my feelings betray

For many moons the words "I'm quitting"
Came through as a solemn vow
My smile and hopes ear splitting
I was very proud

Years went by, and then turned out
It was fun to laugh and poke
But what came about
Was a big mistake, one cruel joke

Black as night I try to move
My feet don't leave the ground
About midnight, I'm in the groove
But you are nowhere to be found
