lyrics

All alone,
Checking my phone,
Minor chords revolving
Upon my six-string,
As joy flies away,
Like a swan into the twilight,
And I'm thrown into the spotlight,
The spotlight of the night.
Yeah joy dies away,
Like a wine gone sour--
I don't think I got the power,
To bear the spotlight of the night.
**
Drinking my wine,
Listening to you cry,
Watering the roses,
Dreaming of the ocean,
For we're both sad today,
We cry but we can't help it,
It was something we were born with,
But don't you dare despair,
For Joy finds a way,
To grace this Gothic romance,
Darling, might I have the first dance,
Beneath the spotlight of the night?
**
I found myself beside a fountain at midnight,
I washed my face in the crystalline water,
You were there with a rose stuck in your hair,
You were there with a lantern in your hand....
**
When I return to me,
O! I'm laughing in the basement,
For though I'm alone in the basement,
I'm in the spotlight of my Life,
And Love shall remain,
Like a Flame (!) begotten of the Swan but not forgotten,
By the spotlight of the night,
Yeah though we're suffering,
We cry but we can't help it,
Til we die we shall withstand it,
Stand the spotlight of the night,
For Joy finds a way,
To grace this Gothic romance,
Darling, might I have the first dance,
Beneath the spotlight of the night?
O Darling, might I have the first dance beneath the spotlight of the night?
(One more time)
Might I have the first dance beneath the spotlight of the night?
