Lead Me Into the Night

[Verse 1]

I went too far, yes I came too 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

[Chorus]

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 this light

And sleep well at night

[Verse 2]

I traveled east and I traveled west

And I found 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

[Chorus]

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

And into the night

[Bridge]

Oh you, you, you, it's gotta be you

You, oh you, it's gotta be you

True, true, it's true, it's gotta be you

You, oh you, it's gotta be you

To lead me into the night

[Verse 3]

Well, I went too far and I came too 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

[Chorus]

He leads me into the night

He drives away the light

He makes the darkness seem bright

And walks with me into the night

Away from the light
