Late at night
When the world is safe within their dreams
I walk the shadows
Late at night
An empty feeling creeps within my soul
I feel so lonely
So I go into the darkness of the night
All alone I walk the streets until I find
Someone who is just like me
Searching for some company
Children of the night
Late at night
Late at night
A restless feeling takes control of me
And I can't fight it
Late at night
I feel the need for someone who like me
Needs understanding
So once again I'll search the darkness of the night
All alone I'll walk each street until I find
Someone who is just like me
Looking for some company
Children of the night
Late at night
Late at night
So once again I'll search the darkness of the night
All alone I'll walk each street until I find
Someone who is just like me
Looking for some company
Children of the night
Late at night
Children of the night, children
Late at night
Children of the night, children
Late at night
Children of the night, children
Late at night
