7. After Dark (4:24)
[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
What's that in the corner?
It's too dark to see
What's that noise I'm hearing?
Who's that calling me?
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Long ago and far away, I heard your voice
Once I heard you sing your song, I had no choice
Terror took control it told me what to say
And let me loose I fear, I've finally found a way
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
After dark, I see you
After dark, I feel you
After dark, I want you
After dark, I need you
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
Of age there is no question
Death's shadow is undone
We only need each other
In shelter from the sun
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Long ago and far away, I heard your voice
And once I heard you sing your song, I had no choice
Terror took control it told me what to say
And let me loose I fear, I've finally found a way
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
After dark, I need you
After dark, I want you
After dark, I feel you
After dark, I see you
[Verse 3: Eric Bloom]
There's no turning back now
My fate is traced in blood
I've tasted true salvation
Your power is my drug
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Long ago and far away, I heard your voice
But once I heard you sing your song, I had no choice
Terror took control it told me what to say
And let me loose I fear, I've finally found a way
[Chorus/Outro: Eric Bloom]
After dark, I need you
After dark, I want you
After dark, I feel you
After dark, I see you
After dark, I touch you
After dark, I do!
After dark
After dark
After dark!
What's that in the corner?
It's too dark to see
What's that noise I'm hearing?
Who's that calling me?
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Long ago and far away, I heard your voice
Once I heard you sing your song, I had no choice
Terror took control it told me what to say
And let me loose I fear, I've finally found a way
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
After dark, I see you
After dark, I feel you
After dark, I want you
After dark, I need you
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
Of age there is no question
Death's shadow is undone
We only need each other
In shelter from the sun
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Long ago and far away, I heard your voice
And once I heard you sing your song, I had no choice
Terror took control it told me what to say
And let me loose I fear, I've finally found a way
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
After dark, I need you
After dark, I want you
After dark, I feel you
After dark, I see you
[Verse 3: Eric Bloom]
There's no turning back now
My fate is traced in blood
I've tasted true salvation
Your power is my drug
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Long ago and far away, I heard your voice
But once I heard you sing your song, I had no choice
Terror took control it told me what to say
And let me loose I fear, I've finally found a way
[Chorus/Outro: Eric Bloom]
After dark, I need you
After dark, I want you
After dark, I feel you
After dark, I see you
After dark, I touch you
After dark, I do!
After dark
After dark
After dark!
