Lyrics
On a lonely night
On a lonely night
I talked to myself
Thinking you were there
Thinking you were there
On an empty street
A cold and empty street
I walked by myself
Thinking you were there
Thought I might find you there
Chorus:
But now I know, that wherever I go
You'll be right here beside me
When you're not there
When you're not there
Instrumental...
People drifing round
In this ghost town
But I stand by myself
I know you're round somewhere
Drifting through the air
Chorus:
But now I know, that wherever I go
You'll be right here inside me
When you're not there, ooh babe
When you're not there
