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