This room used to be the room where you and me
Xame to love the slow mivin' nights
Just like the morning star we had that lovers' spark
Nothing could hide the fire in our eyes
Now we're reachin' in the dark for what we need
Runnin' into walls that we can't see
Who turned out the light who decided we weren't right
What took the shine off a brand new love
Who turned our gold to rust left us lyin' in the dust
Just when love was burnin' bright who turned out the light
Was it you or me who brought on this winter freeze
Baby did we move too fast too soon
And if we could trace our tracks could we feel our way back
The picture is fading but I remember you
Oh we're reachin' in the dark...
[ guitar ]
Just when love was burnin' bright who turned out the light
Just when love was burnin' bright who turned out the light
