When farewell is said And no light is seen anymore When you know sleep is not in the cards And eyes are all shut around you The world around becomes your own Personal hell
You see dancing shadows against the ceiling And your eyes are fixed on them, you try to follow their way The smile of a wicked lover reflects from the mirror and it sends shivers down your spine You hear the desperate shout of a woman No one will be answering her Not then, not now, not ever.
The man who sits there, night after night, Paging through forgotten memoirs, with the dark soul and piercing eyes. He is the one who breaks your heart. With a ciggarette in his hand, he reminds you that life with the light on is just a hoax.
"The bitterness of dissapointed will be the persistant flavour in your mouth if you keep on believing there is more to everything around you." He says, "So go on, little girl, without putting any of your faith in that light."
He became your nightly companion. Said some wise words and made you think. Until one night he took everything with him. The dancing shadows on the ceiling, the reflecting smile of a wicked lover and the desperate shout of a woman. And finally you could sleep.
