You crawled into my head in the dead of the night As I wondered who had turned out the light You're cold to the touch and as sharp as a knife And I wondered what my blood would taste like But darling don't you know it's hard to be alone? That's what makes these nights so cold So I start to wonder and hope that you don't mind Will you meet me under Cleary's clock tonight? If I don't show up, don't fear that I'm dead Just find a payphone, they'll tell you I have just left These are things we forget as I walk you home I turn on my heel to get the bus on my own But darling don't you know it's hard to be alone? That's what makes these nights so cold So I start to wonder and hope that you don't mind Will you meet me under Cleary's clock tonight? They said there'll be days like these We're all suffering from the same disease I know that I'm hard to please We're all suffering from the same disease But darling don't you know it's hard to be alone? That's what makes these nights so cold So I start to wonder and hope that you don't mind Will you meet me under Cleary's clock tonight?
