You turn out the light

And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire

My heart smolders in the night

And these tumbling boulders of desire

Come a rolling out the shadows at me

Rolling out the shadows at me

Rolling out the shadows at me

You say ‘I thought time was meant

To take away the hurting’

As your lonely silhouette closes the curtain

We're back on the road, destination uncertain

So let's get in this car and drive

And this feeling I feel so strong

So powerful it can't be wrong

Now the whole frosted night is just a song

A song for you

A song for you

Song for you

The moon has splashed right over the street

Like my tears on your thigh so pale

There’s just you and me in the sheets

And the whole, the whole wide world is just a jail

When you’re away from me

You're away from me

You're away from me

And it's rollin' on by

Here come the night

You turn out the light

And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire

My heart smolders in the night

And these tumbling boulders of desire

Come rolling, rolling

Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling

Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling

Out the shadows at me

Turn out the light
