Lyrics In The Darkest Place - Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach

In The Darkest Place

In the darkest place
I know
That is where youll find me Even though you didnt have to remind me I shut out the lights
Your eyes adjust
Theyll never be the same
You know I love you so Lets start again
Since you put me down
It seems
Ive been very gloomy
You may laugh, but pretty girls look right through me They dont sense the faintest glimmering
That is the torch I bear
Theres light enough for me to find my way
But I only have to tell myself that by now
You could be with someone else
Is there light beneath your door and
Laughter from within?
Do your friends come around
Saying, «try to find another lover»?
He wont love you like I do In the darkest place
Im lost
I have abandoned every hope
Maybe youll understand I must
Shut out the light
Your eyes adjust
Theyll never be the same
You know I love you so Lets start again
Do your friends come around
Saying, «try to find another lover»?
He wont love you like I do In the darkest place
That is where youll find me In the darkest place
That is where youll find me
