pale and clear the light of dawn    evening's laughter long gone    even love a forgotten need       draw the shade and face the day    feel illusion float away    hold the dream and let it free       how many strangers d'you have to meet?    how many old friends d'you have to see?    with how many lovers d'you have to sleep?    to know that you're alone in all this world       feel the fear and let it pass    hear the questions no-one asks    close your eyes and let them see       how many strangers d'you have to meet?    how many times kneel at your god's feet?    with how many lovers d'you have to sleep?    to know that you're alone in all this world
