I've been up all night with a kind of light
Burning in my brain
The flames is cold .... freezing,
But it takes away my pain
I don't feel any pain
No, I don't feel any pain
Just sit here listening to the rain tonight
No no no you sweet deceiver, you
Though it's cold the pain is bright
Clearer vision through the night
If helps me see that it's alright with me
You sweet deceiver you
You sweet deceiver you
Oh no no no oh, no no you sweet deceiver you
Though it's cold it's pain is bright
Clearer vision through the night
And it helps me see then it's alright with me
I've been up all night with a kind of light
Burning in my brain
I don't feel any pain
No, I don't feel any pain
I know it's coming back again tonight
