i want nine lives
the end seems so one sided
these slow walks
these long talks
why do you try to hide it
it seems that you've already decided
to send me walking in the darkness

oh i'm waiting for the sun to shine on me
when tomorrow comes where will i be
what will it take, what will it take
to turn this world my way
right now (i need it to shine on me)

these strong ties
i never realized
the feelings i'd confided
these dark skies
these long cries
we've got to get back where we started
still the clouds cannot be parted
i'm walking in the darkness

after the rain will there be rainbows or rust
after the pain will there be faith or mustrust
what did we do to turn this treasure to dust

i'm walking in the darkness
walking in the darkness
i'm walking in the darkness
