I went to far, yes I came to close
I drove away the one yhat I loved the most
now I ride the tide on a boat made of sand
I'm sailning 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 the light
and sleep well at night

I travelled east and I travelled west
and I foud a boy with a hart 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

oh you, you, you, it's gotta be you
you, oh you it's gotta be you
true, true, true, it's gotta be you
you, oh youit's gotta be you

to lead me into the night...

well I went to far, and I came to 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 inte the night
he drives away the light
he makes the darkness seem bright
and walks wih me into the night
away from the light
