Here I lie in a lost and lonely part of town Held in time in a world of tears, I slowly drown Going home, I just can’t make it all alone I really should be holdin’ you, holdin’ you Lovin’ you, lovin’ you Tragedy When the feeling’s gone, and you can’t go on, it’s tragedy When the morning cries and you don’t know why, it’s hard to bear With no one to love you, you’re going nowhere Tragedy When you lose control, and you got no soul, it’s tragedy When the morning cries and you don’t know why, it’s hard to bear With no one beside you, you’re going nowhere ---

Deep in my heart there’s a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer’s gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle And while I can think, While I can talk While I can stand, While I can walk While I can dream, Please let my dream come true… right now ---
