Lyrics

Only After Dark

Ahh

I feel my spirit fly, only after dark

Ahh, Ahhh

I, I kiss the world good-bye, only after dark

Ahh, Ahhh

Night, with the city lights, only after dark

Ahh, Ahhh

Run like a runaway, only after dark

Ahh, Ahhh

Won't you disappear

Into midnight again

Why don't you come

Why won't you come

Why don't you fly fly fly with me

Sweet innocent fate will be our company

Ahh, Ahhh, Ahh, Ahhh

We at the plant remain, only after dark

Ahh, Ahhh

Moon, simple as can be, only after dark

Ahh, Ahhh

It's wrong to feel so free, only after dark

Ahh, Ahhh

Only you do it to me, only after dark

Won't you disappear

Into midnight again
