Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a little girl, I used to know her
I still think about her time to time
There was a moment when I really loved her
Then one day, the feeling just died
[Verse 2]
We went straight into darkness
Out over the line
Yeah, straight into darkness
Straight into night
[Verse 3]
I remember flying out to London
I remember the feeling at the time
Out the window of the 747
Man, there was nothing, only black sky
[Verse 4]
We went straight into darkness
Out over the line
Straight into darkness
Straight into night
[Verse 5]
Oh, give it up to me, I need it, hey
Girl, I know a good thing when I see it
Baby, wrong or right, I mean it, hey
[Verse 6]
I don't believe the good times are over
I don't believe the thrill is all gone
Real love is a man's salvation
The weak ones fall, the strong carry on
[Verse 7]
Straight into darkness
Out over the line
Yeah, straight into darkness
Straight into night
[Verse 8]
We went straight into darkness
Out over the line
We went straight into darkness
Straight into night
