I wear dark sunglasses at night
So I can walk around and hide
The pain that burns so deep inside
I wear dark sunglasses at night

I wear dark sunglasses at night
So I still pretend I'm doin' right
Although My faith and trust have died
I wear dark sunglasses at night

[chorus]

Livin' in the shade, my friend, is like swimming in the sand
I've spend my nights in the neon lights and there ain't no helpin' hand
Maybe now I've reach the end - and when I finally pass away
To take my glasses off - have a drink on me spread my ashes on a
windy day

I wear dark sunglasses at night
I show a smile and a lotta pride
While in my heart the demons fight
I wear dark sunglasses at night

I wear dark sunglasses at night
I did my best - Lord, how I tired
I shut my eyes now open wide
I wear dark sunglasses at night

[chorus]

Livin' in the shade, my friend, is like swimming in the sand
I've spend my nights in the neon lights and there ain't no helpin' hand
Maybe now I've reach the end - and when I finally pass away
To take my glasses off - have a drink on me spread my ashes on a
windy day

I wear dark sunglasses at night
Lost my only love on the other side
Maybe now she's some kinda devil's bride
I wear dark sunglasses at night

I wear dark sunglasses at night
So noone can see the tears I've cried
Maybe I should've booked another fligth
I wear dark sunglasses at night
