I have a mandolin 
I play it all night long 
It makes me want to kill myself 
I also have a dobro 

Made in some mountain range 
Sounds like a mountain range in love 
But when I turn up the tone on my electric guitar 
I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me 

I went out to the forest and caught 
A hundred thousand fireflies 
As they ricochet round the room 
They remind me of your starry eyes. 

Someone else's might not have made me so sad 
But this is the worst night I ever had, 
'Cause I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me 
You won't be happy with me, 

But give me one more chance 
You won't be happy anyway 
Why do we still live here 
In this repulsive town? 

All our friends are in New York 
Why do we keep shrieking, 
When we mean soft things? 
We should be whispering all the time
