The Darker Side

you discover my deepest secrets I discover what you hide laying in moss and roses down there on the darker side down there on the darker side everything is different one more sweet refrain not much ever changes in the gloaming of the estranged a million empty reasons a million one-lined verses practicing to be perfect over and over we rehearse it down there on the darker side down there on the darker side not the first time we've been here as we circle around again rest your head upon my breast before we lose it again we're leaning on each other at least that's what we pretend this time it could be different or once more, all the same down there on the darker side down there on the darker side I was a whisper on your lips a kite blowing in your wind turn me loose, pull me back a game of chance my friend it all drops like the curtain at the end of the final scene no applause, as it falls and you call out to me down there on the darker side down there on the darker side
