When there's no one,
There is darkness.
All the light
That used to shine
That once was mine
No longer glows.
And there is no sun
When there's no one.

When the song dies,
There is silence.
When the tune
That filled my days
No longer plays.
The room is still.
And there are long sighs
When the song dies.

Was I so foolish
To think I could pray
When there's only one chance
I can save you?
I gave you life,
I can take it away.
Let the shadows descend
Like a knife.
But when I am all alone,
Will I cry "Carrie"?
Oh, my Carrie.

Who will hold me
When there's no one?
When the smiles
I used to see
Are not for me.
What will I do?
Nobody's told me
Who will hold me.
There is no sun
When there's no one.
