Me oh my, my oh me
I fought the night and the night fought me
Knocked on the door, used its key

He and I, I and he
Locked in one piece, but he slept and I screamed
Put on his shirt, pretend he's me

I saw a light and I carried my head
Put out the dawn when she crept in my bed
Broke my heart, stopped me dead

Why oh why does the dark knock on me?
I fought the night and the night broke me
