| Safe until the darkness falls
|
| To loneliness a demon calls
|
| Creeping in, arousing my fears
|
| To breathe a language that noone else hears
|
| Can I cope alone tonight?
|
| The shrinking violet I’ve become inside
|
| To you I may seem insecure
|
| But did you know me what I was before?
|
| I remember dancing as a child
|
| A careless confidence danced with me
|
| Whatever happened to the sun?
|
| Only seemed to notice when it had gone
|
| Lead me back to where it seems
|
| I danced alone in sunlit dreams
|
| Unafraid to play with fire
|
| With a view through a child’s eyes, naive and wild
|
| Can I cope alone tonight?
|
| The shrinking violet I’ve become inside
|
| To you I may seem insecure
|
| But did you know me what I was before?
|
| I remember dancing as a child
|
| A careless confidence danced with me
|
| Whatever happened to the sun?
|
| Only seemed to notice when it had gone
|
| If I ever meet again with her
|
| Could I tell her I could live with her?
|
| If I ever meet again with her
|
| I will tell her I could live with her
|
| I will cope alone tonight
|
| I’ll fight these demons that I’ve tried to describe
|
| I won’t be so insecure
|
| I will show you what I was before
|
| I will dance then as a child
|
| A careless confidence will dance with me
|
| I’ll be warmed there by the sun
|
| You would notice when I had gone |
