She helped me up when I fell down
I never shall forget
she had been just a face in town
we had not spoken yet
a crowd of people passin'
a street of cobble-stones
one diamond shinin'
and I followed her home

Can you find it in your heart
to take me in for just one night
loneliness is hauntin' me
and I ain't got no place to hide

I followed her to her house
in a quiet neighbourhood
there were two angels at her door
made of olivewood

there was a light comin' from the upperroom
and music, a waltz so sweet
and voices full of laughter
dancin' to that beat

Can you find it in your heart
to take me in for just one night
loneliness is hauntin' me
and I ain't got no place to hide

I heard her steps as soon as I'd rapped
upon her door one time
I fell in love that very day
I saw that diamond shine
If there's someone wonderin’
where the hell I am
I never left her house
since the day she took me in

Can you find it in your heart
to take me in for just one night
loneliness is hauntin' me
and I ain't got no place to hide
