Eve lamp dies, another night is over
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
Burnt out ends of smoky days
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
And a new day will begin
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in
Another day is dawning
When the dawn comes the night will be a memory too
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
And a new day will begin
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in
Every street lamp
I can smile at the old days, life was beautiful then
The stale cold smell of morning
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
And soon it will be morning
And the wind begins to moan
Someone mutters at the street lamp gutters
