The night is darkest before dawn With helpless thoughts, rest alone A cold grey dawn, a new beginning When the past is forgotten again Your sweet caress, you are my air My loneliness and my despair You wait for me where waters freeze Infecting me with your disease The only touch that I have felt I played the hand that I was dealt And while it may seem I'm at ease It's growing much harder to breathe And the morning light is still so cold When the bottle's all that's left to hold To face the day all swept away And hope is flowing down the drain Admit it, there's no sun The only lights are man made And maybe there'll be A spotlight on my heart tonight Your sweet caress... And the morning light...
