Had a dream again somebody help me

Take his image from my mind

'Cause someone safe sleeps next to me

But it's another face that's all I see

It's a face that I remember I should never have set free



'Cause here in the darkness is where I am running

Here in the darkness is where I belong

Here in the darkness I find all my comfort

Here in the darkness is where my lover's from



My mind goes out while I'm sleeping

Takes me to a place that I don't belong

It takes me from life's simple charms

To another who all I did was harm

It's a wanting and an aching

For what might have been



Darkness come take me

Don't let him wake me

Darkness don't leave me alone

And I know he's waiting

Yes I know he's waiting

I just know he's waiting

I just shut my eyes shut my eyes



It's been years now since I've seen him

I did not leave it in the best of ways

So what's this that keeps haunting me

I hear he's happy as can be

Maybe I know he's happy,

'Cause he's happy without me
