(Andrew Farriss/Kirk Pengilly)

In the dark of night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
Rooms full of strangers
some call me friend
But I wish you were close to me

In the dark of the night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you

CHORUS
In the dark of the night
By my side
In the dark of the night
By my side
By my side
By my side
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

Here comes the clown
His face is a wall
No window
no air at aall
In the dark of the night
Those faces they haunt me
But I wish you were
So close to me
By my side
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were

CHORUS

Those faces they haunt me
I wish you were so close to me
Yes I wish you were
By my side
