Lyrics
-------------------------
Verse 1
-------------------------
Lonely Night
I know too well
Taking control
Placing me in a spell
Lonely Night
Settles so deep
Barring me
Far from sleep
-------------------------
Chorus
-------------------------
The clock strikes 12
Lonely Night burns
Ticking slowly
Emptiness returns
-------------------------
Verse 2
-------------------------
Lonely Night
Dark and still
Silence deafening
Daring my will
Lonely Night
Silent chains
Securely grips
Slowly drains
-------------------------
Chorus
-------------------------
The clock strikes 1
Lonely Night burns
Ticking slowly
Emptiness returns
-------------------------
Bridge
-------------------------
Patiently waiting for the daybreak
For some daylight
To release me from this inner prison
Praying for the warden's pardon
My heart has hardened
But I know that I can find a reason
I once thought our love was one that was rare
If only I could find a way to explain and repair
-------------------------
Verse 3
-------------------------
Lonely Night
Please take pity
On this simple soul
I beg mercy
Lonely Night
Working to subdue
Yearning thoughts for
Who can drown you
-------------------------
Chorus
-------------------------
The clock strikes 2
Lonely Night burns
Ticking slowly
Emptiness returns
