Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Green
If all the things you said were right
How come you can't go hame at night
You're frightened on your own
Scared to be alone
In your head
Not at home
And all the things you say and do
Won't take the fear away from you
And so you're once again tonight
Just praying for the light
When thoughts that haunt you so
Will slowly let you go
And once again the dread
Is burning in your head
You try but can't let go
This pain that kills you so

If all the things you say were true
Why can't you start this game anew?
It's nothing that was said
It's only in your head
But the dread, oh god the dread

And all the things you say and do
Won't take the fear away from you
And so you're once again tonight
Just praying for the light
When thoughts that haunt you so
Will slowly let you go
And once again the dread
Is burning in your head
You try but can't let go
This pain that kills you so
And once again the tonight
Just praying for the light
When thoughts that haunt you so
Will slowly let you go
And once again that dread
Is burning up your head
You try but can't let go
This pain that kills you so
