Willow trees swinging in the summertime
Children playing in the sand
Fresh couples come and go
The ghost of my youth standing by my side
I wish I were back again
When days were made of gold
Energy of despair
Has been dragging me down
In circles round and round
When the sun sinks in the sky
Dark knight, dark knight
Will you take me away with you
You never dared to take me seriously
Maybe I was just a fraud
That no one could believe
But why should we have lived behind closed doors
As a brand new world was just
Here lying at your feet
Energy of despair
Has been dragging me down
In circles round and round
When the sun sinks in the sky
Dark knight, dark knight
Will you take me away with you
Now my eyes are sore and the light is scarce
And we have just reached the point
Where we go different ways
Energy of despair
Has been dragging me down
In circles round and round
When the sun sets on my life
Dark knight, dark knight
Will you take me away with you
Dark knight, dark knight
Will you take me away with you
