When you dance with Illusions, drink with the past

Small and elusive, your words never last

Filling the empty, darkness and light

Twined and entangled, imitations of life



Echoes of silence, drifting too fast

Can anyone hear me, as I fall through the cracks?



All the lights are going out

All the shops have closed their doors

But I won't sleep tonight

I won't sleep tonight

Without you by my side



Everybody's gone to sleep

And I'm just walking the empty streets

I won't sleep tonight

I won't sleep tonight

Without you by my side



Slipping through moments, a hollow embrace

Can I find lightness, when I'm so out of place

Chasing shadows, in the twilight

Trying to find some peace of mind



Dreams for breakfast, tears for lunch

I'm a queen, I'm a beggar,

With a torn paper crown



All the lights are going out

All the shops have closed their doors

But I won't sleep tonight

I won't sleep tonight

Without you by my side



Everybody's gone to sleep

And I'm just walking the empty streets

I won't sleep tonight

I won't sleep tonight

Without you by my side
