Secret Garden
I lie in bed but baby I can't sleep
No matter how hard I try
There's something bad, baby, wrong with me
Whenever I close my eyes
The dreams of Mary keep me awake
With every little curve in place
When I walk home in the daybreak
I pray come back home, baby, won't you give me
Darlin' bring on the night
Oh yeah darlin', bring on the night
Oh now darlin', bring on the night
I walk the street, I'm lookin' for romance
I end up stumblin' in some stupid half-trance (1)
As I watch the lovers mix with circumstance
We watch the disco dancers dance
I look for connection in some new eyes (2)
But for protection they're tranquilized
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who lies
Bring on the night
Oh yeah darlin', bring on the night
Oh now darlin', bring on the night
Is it as simple as it seems
I don't know what I'm doin' here
Is it as simple as it seems
Is it as simple as I fear, well if I'm right...
I look for connection in some new eyes
But for protection they're tranquilized
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who, baby of who's tellin' who lies
Bring on the night
Oh yeah darlin', bring on the night
Oh now baby, bring on the night
Oh now darlin', bring on the night
...
