The lamppost outside my window
shines light into my room
There's darkness in the corners
I stay inside tonight
By the bedside I lie

I feel the gloom
falling over me

The day breaks outside my window
But all that I can see is concrete
against a white sky
This day's been here before
I can't stand this no more

I feel the gloom
falling over me

I get out to catch some daylight
and when the sun goes down
I turn back to find my way home
When the night starts to fall
I need someone to call

'cause I feel the gloom
falling over me

Let me sit on the grass in a park in the sun
Let me lie in your arms as you're counting the stars
I am burned out and cold by the side of a road
Retracing my tracks in the snow

and I feel the gloom
falling over me
