[Verse 1]
Out of the shadows, it comes again
Strange is the light that bends my head
Right from the morning, my old friend
[Chorus]
Lonely nights, lonely days
I run from the sun and I hide in the shade
[Verse 2]
Warm is the lady who takes my hand
Like the wind blows, she's gone again
[Chorus]
Lonely nights, lonely days
I run from the sun and I hide in the shade
[Refrain]
And is it really me who’s fading?
And if I ever feel that way again
There must be something that remains
[Verse 3]
Right from the morning, my old friend
High hangs the curtain on a haunted man
[Chorus]
Lonely nights, lonely days
I run from the sun and I hide in the shade
I run from the sun and I hide in the shade
[Refrain]
And is it really me who's fading?
And if I ever feel that way again
There must be something that remains
[Outro]
Well, while I watch it run away
Then leave the fool of today
