I went to far, yes I came to close   I drove away the one that I loved the most   now I ride the tide on a boat made of sand   I'm sailing for another to guide me to land      and lead me into the night   please drive away the light   'cause I've been blinded by glitter and gold   my eyes need to rest from the light   and sleep well at night      I traveled east and I traveled west   and I foud a boy with a heart on his chest   I ran aground, my ship left to rust   yes, I found a guide in the city of lust      to lead me into the night   oh please drive away the light   although my mother will never understand   I walk with him away from the light      oh you, you, you, it's gotta be you   you, oh you it's gotta be you    true, true, true, it's gotta be you   you, oh youit's gotta be you      to lead me into the night...      well I went to far, and I came to close   I drove away the first one and now he's a ghost   then I went adrift on a boat made of sand   it was leaking like a sieve but I made it to land       he leads me into the night   he drives away the light   he makes the darkness seem bright   and walks wih me into the night   away from the light
