Twelve o'clock and cold outside and dark Moonless night and such a frightful dark Everything is strange and weird Cheerful[ness] since have disappeared (?) Since you've gone Passers by all wonder why it's dark Not a sound is heard around the dark Will it always be this way? Will I see a brighter day? Please come back and chase away the dark...
