 All good people - asleep tonight
 I’m all by myself -  in your silver light
I’d go out of my  mind, but for you
I’d go out of my  mind, but for you
 
 Lying in -   a mother’s arms
 The primal root -  of a woman’s charms

I’m a stranger to the sun - My eyes are too weak
  How cold is a heart - When it’s warmth that he seeks?
 
I’d go out of my  mind, but for you
I’d go out of my  mind, but for you

   My mistress’ eyes - are nothing like the sun
To howl at the moon - the whole night through
I’d go out of my  mind, but for you
I’d go out of my  mind, but for you
