Deep In the Dark

Check it out, Joe I'll tell you a secret If you know where to keep it And you promise not to tell Got a tale or two About a girl that you could have sworn you knew so well It was years ago Though it sounds like yesterday You came on strong and she gave it all away He had an angel's face A fighter's grace And an ace hidden up his sleeve But never mind 'cos love is blind And she needed to believe His touch could fill He held her safe from harm If looks could kill She'd have died there in his arms Deep in the dark The thunder in her heart He told her every single lie He swore he'd never told anyone before Check it out, Joe Now you wake up in the dead of night And reach out to touch her hair But the bed is empty, turn on the light And she's not even there Then a note she wrote You read that thing and weep 'Cause if you love someone And never know what runs so deep Deep in the dark The thunder in her heart She told you every single lie She swore she'd never heard before --- Deep in the Dark - Laura Branigan
