Lady in the night

She awaits for him

Watching the candle light

Hours watching it dim



Where can he be?

Is he with another?

Where can he be?

Has he some secret lover?



There comes a knock on the door

She opens it to a policeman there

She hears her man is no more

His car crashed into a lake somewhere



Why can't he be?

In her arms right now

Why can't he be?

Alive with her somehow



So tonight the tears fall down

Her heart feels it is broken

In her sorrow she will drown

Of a love that is now unspoken



How can he be?

Away from her forever

How can he be?

Lost to her forever
