I light one cigarette after the other
And I fill my glass with alcohol
I stay up with a great grievance
And I'm looking for the answer to why you left
The nights go by empty
And so does my life
For the lonely and the sleepless,
The troubles never end
I'm desperately looking for you by playing songs
So you'll hear them and come back some night
There are many more night birds out there like me,
That have been wounded by love
The nights go by empty
And so does my life
For the lonely and the sleepless,
The troubles never end
