i love this song ♥ so much. it's one of my favorites by them, and every INXS knows how hard it is to pick out favorites :) this is my personal translation --
In the dark of the night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
(no explination needed)
Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I wish you were so close to me
(compared to the person he is lonely for, everyone around him seems like a stranger)
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you
(first of all, it chills me when he sings "when i'm with you" :) this line is pretty self explanitory)
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side, by my side, by my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
Here comes the clown
His face in a wall
No window
No air at all
(i've always seen this line as saying no matter how much people try to cheer him up, (a clown), when he is lonely for his love everything is dark and gloomy and nothing can make him happy but the one he is singing about)
In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
But I wish you were
So close to me
By my side
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
By my side
In the dark of night
Those faces they haunt me
I wish you were so close to me
Yes I wish you were
By my side
pretty self explanitory song, i think :) eirenightshade had a great description too
