It was a cold night in december

With a strange rain falling down

And i was helpless, i was lonesome

And crazy

And looking for a way out

That's when the devil came to me

And i fell into his arms

This is as much as i remember

When he gently spoke to me

I was such a wasted number

Like a dead one in a dream

The night the devil came to me

And i fell into his arms

Let the streets i'm walking on fill up with shadows

I would wear this heart

With an open wound

And i would walk upon the earth

With no hope or sorrow / alone...

By the last day of december

There was nothing left of me

Just a pale looking shadow

Of the man i used to be

The night the devil came to me

And i fell into his arms

Let the streets i'm walking on fill up with shadows

I would wear this heart

With an open wound

I would walk upon the earth

With no hope or sorrow

Alone...
