Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Despite the lies that you're makin'

Your love is mine for the takin'

My love is just waitin'

To turn your tears to roses

...

Despite the lies that you're makin'

Your love is mine for the takin'

My love is just waitin'

To turn your tears to roses

I will be the one that's gonna hold you

I will be the one that you run to

My love is a burnin', consuming fire

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

I'll light the night with stars

Hear the whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

You know I'm never far

Hear the whispers in the dark

...

Whispers in the dark

...

You feel so lonely and ragged

You lay here broken and naked

My love is just waitin'

To clothe you in crimson roses

I will be the one that's gonna find you

I will be the one that's gonna guide you

My love is a burnin', consuming fire

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

I'll light the night with stars

Hear the whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

You know I'm never far

Hear the whispers in the dark

...

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

I'll light the night with stars

Hear the whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

You know I'm never far

Hear the whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark

...
