After dark

(1980)

It wasn't what you said.

It's knowing what you mean.

You wanna spread your wings and fly

where the moment takes you off.

Trying hard to be

someone you ain't.

 

It wasn't how you laughed

that taught me how to cry.

Convincing me your heart is

a million dreams away.

Trying hard to be

someone you ain't.

 

You came along when I was down

and found a place within me.

All the love I ever had cannot

replace the things you did.

I'm still in love with you and

even though you're gone

I gotta try, gotta try,

gotta try, gotta try.

 

Someday I'm gonna win

and get back to your arms.

And here am I alone

with a memory of you.

Trying hard to be, someone I ain't.

 

We held it in, we gave it out.

There wasn't any quarter.

All the pieces fell apart.

It still ain't like it ought to be.

I'm still in love with you.

Even though you're gone.

I gotta try, gotta try,

gotta try, gotta try.

 

You came along when I was down

and found a place within me.

All the love I ever had cannot

replace the things you did.

I'm still in love with you.

Even though you're gone

I gotta try, gotta try,

gotta try, gotta try.

 

We held it in, we gave it out.

There wasn't any quarter.

All the pieces fell apart.

It still ain't like it ought to be.

I'm still in love with you.

Even though you're gone

I gotta try, gotta try,

gotta try, gotta try...
