There  was a little  girl, I used  to know her
I  still think  about her, time  to time
There  was a moment  when I really  loved her
Then  one day  the feeling just  died
We  went straight into darkness
Out  over the line
Yeah,  straight into darkness
Straight  into night
I  remember flying  out to London
I  remember the  feeling at the  time
Out  the window  of the 747
Man  there was  nothin', only black  sky
We  went straight into darkness
Out  over the line
Straight  into darkness
Straight  into night
Oh,  give it up to me I need it babe
Girl,  I get there when I see it
Baby,  wrong or right I need it, yeah
I  don't believe  the good times  are over
I  don't believe  the thrill is  all gone
Real  love is  a man's salvation
The  weak ones  fall the strong  carry on
Straight  into darkness
Out  over the line
Yeah,  straight into darkness
Straight  into night
We  went straight into darkness
Out  over the line
We  went straight into darkness
Straight  into night
