Voices in the dead of night
Whisper words of loneliness it's true
Footsteps echo down the hall
Coming ever closer is it you
It's not fair for mortal man
To put up with this pain, I'm goin' through
You should be happy
Now you're on your own
You should be happy
Now you're on your own
If I could walk through that door
I'd leave behind these broken memories
Trapped inside this empty room
Desperation closing in on me
If I had your heart of stone
I could break these chains
And I'd be free
You should be happy
Now you're on your own
You should be happy
Now you're on your own
I could be happy,
I could be happy, someday
If you would have tried
If you hadn't lied
We'd never be alone again
Happy
No you're on your own
Happy
Yes, you're on your own
You should be happy
Now you're on your own
Happy
Oh yes, you're on your own
But, now I'm happy
Now I'm on my own
Happy
This song of the month can be heard on Street Talk.
"This is based on the situation of a possibility
- a what if? What if a guy comes home from work and finds his wife's not there, then discovers her
clothes and suitcase are missing? I thought he would start to get a bit paranoid and hear voices in
the dead of night."
Steve Perry in 16 Magazine, August 1984
