I had a little luck, but I threw it all away
I followed every crumb you left along the way
No matter how I'd scream I couldn't wake the dead
So I sing it to the night and to the moonlight instead
It's dark beyond the stars, it's cold out in the rain
But I'm still looking for a glimpse of the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la
A wilderness of sea, a bottle full of rain
A dream within a dream, no part of it unnamed
And though I find it hard and though I dare not speak
You wipe the tears and touch your hand upon my cheek
It's dark beyond the stars, it's cold out in the rain
But I'm still looking for a glimpse of the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la
It's too dark now, I can't go back nor carry on all the same
I loved you and that's a fact now I'm on my own again
I wanted it all so real, I can't wait for it to unfold
I just want to know how it feels, don't leave me out in the cold
Don't leave me out in the cold
It's dark beyond the stars, it's cold out in the rain
But I'm still looking for a glimpse of the spirit in the flame
It's dark beyond the stars, it's cold out in the rain
But I'm still looking for a glimpse of the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, the spirit in the flame
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la
