The Deal

There's a deal you can make on a midnight walk alone

Look around, listen close, hear it fall from above

It will ask what you'd give and what you'd take for it in return

I once went on such a walk and I found that I'd said

I want someone to take this soul

I can't bear to keep it, I'd give it just to give

And all I will take are the consequences

Will somebody take this soul?

Then, of course, nothing replied, nothing speaks to you in the night

And I walked my way home, there was no one in sight

Save a bird perched upon a streetlight, watchin' me

So I stopped and let it watch till I found that it said

Now I'm taken, the night has me

You won't hear me singin', you're a cage without me

Your pain is eased but you'll never be free

For now I'm taken, the night has me

There's a deal that I made

There's a deal that I made

There's a deal that I made

There's a deal
