Intro:
In the dark of the night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
Bridge:
Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I wish you were   so close   to me
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away  when I'm   with you
(In the dark of night)  by my side
(In the dark of night)  by   my side
I wish you were   I wish you were
Here comes the clown
His face in a wall   no window
No air   at all
In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
But I wish you were  so close   to me
(In the dark of night)  by my side
(In the dark of night) by   my side
I wish you were   I wish you were
(In the dark of night)  by my side
(In the dark of night) by my side
I wish you were   I wish you were
In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
I wish you were so close   to me
Yes I wish you were   by   my side

Intro:

In the dark of the night

Those small hours

Uncertain and anxious

I need to call you

Bridge:

Rooms full of strangers

Some call me friend

But I wish you were so close to me

In the dark of night

Those small hours

I drift away when I'm with you

(In the dark of night) by my side

I wish you were I wish you were

Here comes the clown

His face in a wall no window

No air at all

In the dark of night

Those faces they haunt me

But I wish you were so close to me

(In the dark of night) by my side

I wish you were I wish you were

(In the dark of night) by my side

I wish you were I wish you were

In the dark of night

Those faces they haunt me

I wish you were so close to me

Yes I wish you were by my side
