Verse I
20 million diamonds
Crown the sky tonight
Silence for two lovers'
They tell me whispering's a virtue
And holding hands' their game
'Tis cold, it's cold
Coda:
And as I watch the candle
(burn/turn) this night
(away/today)
My life collects another
yesterday
Refrain:
Alone in the darkness
I am waiting for the one
While the lovers wait for the sun
Lay I/Waiting for the
one
Verse II
Stalk the streets do lovers
in this town tonight
20 million heartbeats
holding hands C
For them, it's darkness
that's most precious
But tell me who can I embrace
The cold? There's no one
here to hold
Who'll light the darkness
with her name
Heal this blackout
pain
--Em-F-Em-Dm-G-F-
