Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the dark of night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
[Verse 2]
Rooms full of strangers
Some call me a friend
But I wish you were
So close
To me
[Verse 3]
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm
With you
[Verse 4]
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
[Verse 5]
I wish you were
I wish you were
[Verse 6]
Here comes the clown
His face is a wall
No window
No air
At all
[Verse 7]
In the dark of night
Those faces that haunt me
But I wish you were
So close
To me
[Verse 8]
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
[Verse 9]
I wish you were
I wish you were
[Verse 10]
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
[Verse 11]
I wish you were
I wish you were
[Verse 12]
In the dark of night
These faces that haunt me
Well I wish you were
So close
To me
[Verse 13]
Yes I wish you were
By my side
