When the dark comes around
To see what it's found
And all the loving is dead
You stayed below
Another hero
And let me go instead

A shot in the dark
Was all it took
To bring me to you
A walk in the park
Didn't need a book
To know it all was true

When the pain and the fear
Push you too near
To the edge at the end of time
Don't take that step
It ain't over yet
Let the pain be mine

Verse 2
A shot in the dark
And you were mine
I'll always love you so
Never let you go
I knew it from the start
with every beat of my heart 

When you're on the right road
Let me carry your load
Don't fail on the last bend
Give your soul to me
Christ can't you see
I just wanna be your lover

Verse 3
A shot in the dark
Thats all it took
Now you're here with me
A shot in the dark
Was what it took
To get my eyes to see

When the pain and the fear
Push you too near
To the edge at the end of time
Don't take that step
It ain't over yet
Let the pain be mine

(brake)

Verse 2
You came to me
On a summer breeze
Never knew just what hit me
You took hold of me

Verse 3
Floating like a dream
On a summer stream
Never knew just what hit me
I made you my queen

Verse 4
All that summer through
I kept close by you
Never knew, just what hit me
I guess you always knew

When the pain and the fear
Push you too near
To the edge at the end of time
Don't take that step
It ain't over yet
Let the pain be mine

When the dark comes around
To see what it's found
And all the loving is dead
You stayed below
Another hero
And let me go instead

A shot in the dark
Was all it took
A shot in the dark
Was all it took
A shot in the dark
Was all it took
