Standing in the dark outside the house
Breathing in the cold and sterile air
Well I was thinking how it must feel
To see that little light
And watch it as it disappears
And fades into
And fades into the night

So I know you´re going pretty soon
Radiation sore throat got your tongue
Magic markers tattoo you
And show it where to aim
And strangers break their promises
You won´t feel any
You won´t feel any pain

And the streets are jammed with cars
Rockin´ their horns
To race to the wire
Of the unfinished line

Thought that I´d forget all about the past
But it doesn´t let me run too fast
And I just wanna stand outside
And know that this is right
And this is true
And I will not
Fade into
Fade into the night

Standing here in the dark
