The ship went down in the sea In a moonlit night in June When the sirens all were singing (You were singing out of tune) Said if this was it for me I would never have to choose And the devil sat beside me Said (Ain't that the truth) You were my light in the darkness You were the best of me In a land full of starkness I could never see You were my light in the darkness Now I can hardly see And I swear I hear you singing (Baby, ain't that the truth) You were my light in the darkness And I was a light to you Now you hear the sirens singing (They say, Baby, come through) You were my light in the darkness You were the best of me In a land full of starkness I could never see
