Lyrics
In the dark
Anything can happen
People lose their senses
Romance strikes a spark
Picture any woman
Your idyllic woman
I can be that woman in the dark
In the dark
Violence turns to passion
Time surrenders meaning
Life becomes a lark
No one's in a hurry
There's no need to hurry
We won't have to hurry in the dark
Tell me again what happens in the dark.
Why?
I like that, how it strikes a spark.
No, it's time for silence.
Silence? Why? I want to hear your voice!
All right - I'll try!
In the dark
Truth turns to confusion
Voices sound so different
Details twist and dark
Lovers meet and whisper
All alone they whisper
That's why I will whisper in the dark
Your voice sounds different. Like a tiger purring.
That always happens when my blood gets stirrin'.
Makes my voice more husky when I sing.
But you said -
Hush! And let the tiger spring.
In the dark
Shadows will caress you
Evening breezes kiss you
As your dreams embark
Angels watch and keep you
While not I will keep you
Well, I'll do my best to keep you
In the dark
Sounds like it might be workin'.
I just hope that Bella doesn't mind too much.
She'll cope. You know, here in the dark,
When I can't see your blue eyes shootin' daggers into me,
You seem almost, well, human.
You don't say.
Not totally, of course.
But you know what?
In the dark
Tempers seem to soften
Cowards find their courage
Moonlight leaves its mark
Everything looks different
Even you look different
Nothing's really different
In the dark
Check out the heavens, padre!
What a night!
Don't be fooled, my boy!
That sea of light is nothing more than incandescent gas
And though they burn so brightly, never last
Stars, like all of us, will fade and die.
Oh, Bella! Are you watching this same sky?
And wondering, like I am, if and when
We'll count these stars together once again?
In the dark
Sinners seek forgiveness
Drunkards talk of heaven
Shadows aren't so stark
Anything can happen
Dreadful things can happen
Who knows what will happen
In the dark?
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
Voices whisper
Everything looks different
In the dark
Nothing's really different
Moonlight
Passion
Anything can happen in the dark
Reason has no compass
Life is fraught with questions
Shadows leave their mark
We can't see tomorrow
Will there be tomorrow?
Could we love tomorrow?
When I wake up tomorrow
We can't ignore tomorrow
We wait for tomorrow
In the dark
