In the morning when I wake
I can almost hear the whisper
Of one glitter of a night
When I was so young

How I found him in the trees
With a face so warm and tender
That strange lover in the dark
Crept deep in my heart

Now or never - stay with me forever
Tell me that we'll never, ever part
But his eyes betrayed the lie
That pierced like a dart

Fly together into never, never
Locked inside the beauty of a song
But tomorrow’s light 
Will find him gone

In the morning when I wake
I will wonder if I’m dreaming
That strange lover in the dark 
Crept deep in my heart

In the night I hear your sighs
In the morning all I see(n)
That smooth sliver of a dream
Of soft, lilting green

Was it you, or just the wind
When I try – I almost kiss him
That strange lover in the dark 
Crept deep in my heart
 
Now or never - stay with me forever
Tell me that we'll never, ever part
But his eyes betrayed the lie
That pierced like a dart

Fly together into never, never
Locked inside the beauty of a song
But tomorrow’s light 
Will find him gone

In the morning when I wake
I will wonder if I’m meeting
That strange lover in the dark 
Crept deep in my heart

Now or never - stay with me forever
Tell me that we'll never, ever part
But his eyes betrayed the lie
That pierced like a dart

Fly together into never, never
Locked inside the beauty of a song
But tomorrow’s light 
Will find him gone

In the morning when I wake
I will wonder if I’m dreaming
That strange lover in the dark 
Crept deep in my heart

In the morning when I wake
I can almost hear the whisper
Of one glitter of a night
When I was so young

How I found him in the trees
With a face so warm and tender
That strange lover in the dark
Crept deep in my heart

Now or never - stay with me forever
Tell me that we'll never, ever part
But his eyes betrayed the lie
That pierced like a dart

Fly together into never, never
Locked inside the beauty of a song
But tomorrow’s light 
Will find him gone

In the morning when I wake
I will wonder if I’m dreaming
That strange lover in the dark 
Crept deep in my heart

In the night I hear your sighs
In the morning all I see(n)
That smooth sliver of a dream
Of soft, lilting green

Was it you, or just the wind
When I try – I almost kiss him
That strange lover in the dark 
Crept deep in my heart*
