Softly the darkness unfolds in silent embrace   And the strange longing never sleeps   Inside of my head, for you   Yet, there's something in my nature   That makes this hard to say   Every second is a chance that slips away   Now I'm wide awake, I'm not sleeping, oh no   And this room feels like a cage, driving me crazy   And I wish I could be there upon your pillow   I can recognise the silence   As it hangs endlessly on line   And the words never spoken   Seem so little yet means so much      CHORUS
