I went too far, yes I came too close I drove away the one that I loved the most now I ride the tide on a boat made of sand I'm sailing for another to guide me to land
and lead me into the night please drive away the light 'cause I've been blinded by glitter and gold my eyes need to rest from this light and sleep well at night
I travelled east and I travelled west and I found a boy with a heart on his chest I ran aground, my ship left to rust yes, I found a guide in the city of lust
to lead me into the night oh please drive away the light although my mother will never understand I walk with him away from the light and into the night
oh you, you, you, it's gotta be you you, oh you, it's gotta be you true, true, it's true, it's gotta be you you, oh you, it's gotta be you
to lead me into the night...
well, I went too far and I came too close I drove away the first one and now he's a ghost then I went adrift on a boat made of sand it was leaking like a sieve but I made it to land
he leads me into the night he drives away the light he makes the darkness seem bright and walks with me into the night away from the light
