So full of sorrow Her darkest hour yet to come She crept along Trembling with cold and hunger Mourning for someone near, someone lost New year's eve, and yeah, of that she thought Something's wrong... and she grew colder and colder Something's wrong... as she drew her match against the wall Something's wrong... colder and colder All alone and... OUT IN THE NIGHT 'Only one match, it's giving such a brilliant light' SHE WANTED... SHE WANTED... SHE WANTED TO WARM HERSELF Two steps from hell There sat the child Out in the snow, in darkness Her loved ones, were long gone She was leaning against the walls Stiff and stark sat the child Awaiting new year's dawn OUT IN THE NIGHT 'Only one match, it's giving such a brilliant light' SHE WANTED... SHE WANTED... SHE WANTED TO WARM HERSELF THE PEOPLE THAT SAW HER WERE QUICK TO LOOK AWAY SHE WANTED... SHE WANTED... SHE WANTED TO WARM HERSELF Colder and colder As she drew her match against the wall 'Someone is dead' said the little girl There with here matches, one bundle was burnt 'Someone is dead, someone is dead' 'Someone is dead' said the little girl Having lost everything to a ruthless world 'Someone is dead, someone is dead' Something... something's wrong Someone was dead, it was the little girl Someone was dead
