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
