Sweetheart, are you down here?
Have you lead me astray?
Baby, will you please appear
And tell me you're okay?
There's something in this darkness
And it's broad and black as night;
Baby, will you please appear
And tell me you're alright?
Please answer, can you hear me?
Can you feel me breathing in?
I love you most completely
But will this love end in sin?
Something's taken up residence
Deep inside my heart
I love you most completely
Will you tell me where to start?
Baby, am I close to you?
Have I come all this way for naught?
I feel so lost apart from you
Is this not what I thought?
Something's taken hold of me
And shaken me to doubt
I feel so lost apart from you
And your love that I'm without
Sweetheart, are you down here?
Will you please give me a sign?
I see a light at the bottom, dear
Will you tell me you're still mine?
There's something in the brightness
That makes me turn away
I see a light at the bottom, dear
It tells me It's okay.
