When the sun goes down   I open up my window for hours and I watch   Every passing stranger   Every early shadow, I wonder if it's you      Always I'm dreaming and recklessly scheming   How to get you back in my life      I want you now   And I'm prepared to take chances   I've told you how   I won't take no for an answer      Every empty evening   The sailors sit downstairs, drinking 'til they fight   Shout and raucous laughter   Sounds of breaking glass shatters through the night      The men from the circus are juggling with knives   The acrobats fall just like you      I want you now   And I'm prepared to take chances   I've told you how   I won't take no for an answer   I won't take no for an answer      Now you're miles away   'Cross the sea, out of reach, unheard   I've cried to you for help   But the wind blows away all my words      Ahh   Ahh   Ahh   Ahh   Ahh   Ahh      You sat there once beside me   Where the actors play, you kissed me every night   When you left you promised   You'd soon be back to stay, and it would be alright      Now I'm abandoned, my letters unanswered   Got to get you back in my life      I want you now   (I want you now)   And I'm prepared to take chances   I've told you how   (I've told you how)   I won't take no for an answer      I want you now   (I want you now)   And I'm prepared to take chances   I've told you how   (I've told you how)   I won't take no for an answer      Ahh   Aah
