[Verse 1]
Alone on a crowded train
The city gives as it takes away
Goodbye, too hard, too hard to say
They said it would be just sentimental and Monday
Years, years, years collect
And the faces change in the photographs

[Chorus 1]
This darkness is nothing but a lack of light
Darkness before the dawn arrives
This darkness is nothing but a lack of light
The silence just the sound of night

[Verse 3]
Dream that you're asleep
But you can't wake and you can't speak
So slip away from the dance floor
The easy way through the back door
Hearts, hearts, hearts will burn
Just as autumn leaves will always turn

[Chorus 2]
This darkness is nothing but a lack of light
Darkness before the dawn arrives
This darkness is nothing but a lack of light
The silence just the sound of night
[Bridge]
This darkness is nothing but a lack of light
This darkness is nothing but a lack of light
Mmm
This darkness, ah

[Outro]
This darkness
This darkness
This darkness
Ooh
