You have the street
At this lonely night
All by your own feet
In this skimping light
If you will fall in love
So alone in the dark
It will be nothing of
Without complicated spark
You might be thinking
About that lovely someone
And to its passion linking
That never seems done
With fairy tales in its spell
And almost nearly true
But then you find reality is hell
And it's only you
Wake up be soon again
Everything you were before
Ghost of love you'd slain
And be normal and sure
Simplicity is just that
Everything quite in hope
You have just got what you've got
Into its own rightful scope
Wake up be soon again
What you were in the evening
Life is sometimes vain
When it complications bring
Simplicity is so much
If you know how to handle it
Take yourself into touch
Walk the line that doesn't split
