There was a little girl, I used t o know her 
I still think about her, time to time 
There was a moment when I really loved her

Straight into night 

I remember flying out to London

Girl, I know when I see it 
Baby wrong or right I need it 

I don't believe the good times are over 
I don't believe the thrill is all gone 
Real love is a man's salvation 
The weak ones fall the strong carry on 

Straight into darkness 
Out over the line 
Yeah straight into darkness 
Straight into night
