Wind and storm (wah-ooh)

Gone's the sun (wah-ooh)

>From the stars (wah-ooh)

My dark has come

You've gone from me, whoa, whoa, tragedy



Oh, come back (come back)

Have me here (right here)

Hold me love (my love)

Be sincere

You've gone from me, whoa, whoa, tragedy



Like smoke (like smoke) from a fire (from a fire)

Of love (of love) whoa oh oh whoa

Our dreams (our dreams) have all gone (all gone)

Above (above) whoa oh oh whoa



Blown (blown by wind)

Kissed by the snow

All that's left is the dark   be-ee (below)

You've gone from me, whoa, whoa, tragedy

Whoa, whoa, whoa tragedy
