[Verse 1]
Why was I ever born and why did God make me?
He must’ve been high when he dropped me down here
All of my neighbors have shut off their porch lights
Like smoke from their chimneys, I’ll soon disappear
[Chorus]
It’s dark enough to see the stars
I wonder who and where we are
Solitude is all I know
And as the years pass by it grows
It’s dark enough to see the stars
I wonder who and where we are
Solitude is all I know
And as the years pass by it grows
[Verse 2]
When it’s high noon I go blind from the light bеams
Reflecting off snow like a mеrciless sword
When the night falls, I am grateful for blackness
That blankets my sadness, it’s my lone reward
[Chorus]
It’s dark enough to see the stars
I wonder who and where we are
Solitude is all I know
And as the years pass by it grows
It’s dark enough to see the stars
I wonder who and where we are
Solitude is all I know
And as the years pass by it grows
[Bridge]
I don’t want to die alone
Lord, I’m running out of hope
I don’t want to die alone
Lord, I’m running
[Chorus]
It’s dark enough to see the stars
I wonder who and where we are
Solitude is all I know
And as the years pass by it grows
It’s dark enough to see the stars
I wonder who and where we are
Solitude is all I know
And as the years pass by it grows
It’s dark enough to see the stars
I wonder who and where we are
Solitude is all I know
And as the years pass by it grows
It’s dark enough to see the stars
I wonder who and where we are
Solitude is all I know
And as the years pass by it grows
