This is how the story ends Face up on the floor again Wondering how he let himself believe her Darkness now his only friend Since she's gone away He's depending on the night Only gets through the day Waiting to come home and get blind Together and then left alone Well that's the way the story goes How're you supposed To learn to be forgotten Darkness just pretends to know Might be blue or black Depending on the night Each day's like the last Broken down and quiet Shadows come to play And always let him hide Since she's gone away He's been depending on the night At this hour you almost can defeat memory One voice never seems to fade away, Fade away, fade away Shadows come to play And always let him hide Since she'd gone away He's been depending on the night
