Laura Branigan – Deep In The Dark

(Falco/R. Ponger/Bill Bowersock)

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

‘cos 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
