They said "God Bless the Prince of Wales 

Let let us hope that he prevails." 

The souvenirs provide details 

Of distant monarchy 



Moving through the human tide 

With the Princess at his side 

Tribesmen cheer and gaze wide-eyed 

At such celebrity 



The Royal smile from magazines 

Waving hands from limousines 

The crowd holds pictures of the Queen 

The magic entity 



These images are beamed to me 

Ten thousand miles across the sea 

Lately I don't seem to be 

Concerned with what they mean 



In the dark, in the dark 

Oh I never saw the danger or the spark 

In the dark, in the dark 

I was feeling like a stranger 

'Cause I never saw the changes in your heart 



Those angry words you soon regret 

Are gone but not forgotten yet 

She may forgive, she won't forget 

Each individual scar 



You make it up and say no more 

And go on living like before 

But every wave erodes the shore 

And tarnishes the star 



You sow each seed of discontent 

Wonder where the loving went 

Every night that's heaven sent 

The dawn can sweep away 



And in the background all the time 

Like some ironic church bell chime 

You watch the Royal couple climb 

Towards their destiny 



In the dark, in the dark 

Oh I never saw the danger or the spark 

In the dark, in the dark 

I was feeling like a stranger 

I never saw the changes in your heart 



So yes, let's bless the Prince of Wales 

Cheer for him and if all fails 

Wrap him in Valkyries' sails 

The golden vanity 



I am free to choose my part 

But still can't find the place to start 

To find my way back to your heart 

That place of mystery 



In Africa the anchor slips 

They bid farewell to the Royal ship 

The newly painted fences chip 

Life falls into routine 



We go on from day to day 

Living in the usual way 

I don't know, and you won't say 

What happened in between 



In the dark, in the dark 

Oh I never saw the danger or the spark 

In the dark, in the dark 

I was feeling like a stranger 

'Cause I never saw the changes 



In the dark, in the dark 

Oh I never saw the danger or the spark 

In the dark, in the dark 

I was feeling like a stranger 

I never saw the changes in your heart 

Oh, I never saw the changes in your heart
