It was a cold night in December

With a strange rain falling down

And I was helpless, I was lonesome

And crazy

And looking for a way out

That's when The Devil came to me

And I fell into his arms

This is as much as I remember

When he gently spoke to me

I was such a wasted number

Like a dead one in a dream

The night The Devil came to me

And I fell into his arms

Let the streets I'm walking on fill up with shadows

I would wear this heart

With an open wound

And I would walk upon the earth

With no hope or sorrow / Alone...

By the last day of December

There was nothing left of me

Just a pale looking shadow

Of the man I used to be

The night The Devil came to me

And I fell into his arms

Let the streets I'm walking on fill up with shadows

I would wear this heart

With an open wound

I would walk upon the earth

With no hope or sorrow

Alone...
