Electro track with crooning vocals, with flavours of accordion, hammer dulcimer and flamenco guitar. The ultimate European disco track!
lyrics
Hello Darkness, my old friend.
A trusted suit, I wear time and again.
Hello Darkness, a saviour it seems.
You banish away, the cruel light of day.
Hello Darkness, my keeper of secrets.
Never one to judge, as the scene's unfolding.
Hello Darkness, masking my tears.
Which no-one can see while.
You're protecting me.
Angels don't look here,
Why would they want to?
Only the lost souls,
Looking for comfort,
Everything's pretty,
Nothing is ugly,
Hands reaching out,
In search of a stranger.
Angels don't look here,
And nor should they care to,
Where hearts beat so fast,
From the thrill and the danger,
Every sense heightened,
A little bit frightened.
Hello Darkness, my old friend.
You banish the cruel light of day.
Hello Darkness, my keeper of secrets.
Never one to judge as the scene's unfolding.
Hello Darkness, masking my tears,
Which no-one can see while,
You're protecting me.
