Lamplight flickers on a crowded street
Silky smoke like Abel's blood rising
Through the night. The light has ceased to be
Snow is falling on an empty street
But I'm so happy, happy, happy that you're with me
Yes I'm so happy, happy, happy that you're here
I wish my loving was easy loving, but it's so heavy it hurts
At least you're with me
Though you're quickly, quickly going home
Sparkling eyes and sparkling wine
Hiding waves you've got inside
'Cause I know I'm not the only one who's
Feeling guilty having fun
But there's a smile on my face
It's been a while since its been in that place
This trial; don't know how much more I can take
But I'm still happy, happy, happy that you're with me
Yes I'm so happy, happy, happy that you're here
I wish my loving was easy loving, but it's so heavy it hurts
At least you're with me
Though you're quickly, quickly going home
Don't go home, don't go home
Don't go home, don't go home
I know they say it comes in waves
But we can just close our eyes
And let the waves roll over us
While we imagine the stars
Diamonds that flicker but never go out
We can join in their distant chorus
You see, this way we don't need the waves
We can just push them away
We don't need them
Just push them away
Just push them away
Just push them away
We can't push them away
We need them
Waves are crashing on a crowded beach
Stars reflected on the troubled sea
I step in, let them crash into me
Snow is falling on an empty beach
