Gray sky hangs over Saint Petersburg

[Verse 1]
Gray sky hangs over Saint Petersburg.
Breath on the windowpane.
I trace a love that I hope will remain.
The clock is ticking.
Old wallpaper's peeling at the seam.
Neighbors scream through the wall like a distant dream.

[Chorus]
In this dark house in Saint Petersburg, I keep a light for you.
One little flame in a cold room, burning true.
In this dark house in Saint Petersburg, the only ones who know it all are the shadows on the wall.

[Verse 2]
Coffee went cold on the table.
Your scarf on the hook still pretends you'll return.
Snow turns to dirty slush on the ground.
The clock struck midnight.
I'm losing track of the time.

[Chorus]
In this dark house in Saint Petersburg, I keep a light for you.
One little flame in a cold room, burning true.
In this dark house in Saint Petersburg, the only ones who know it all are the shadows on the wall.

[Bridge]
If you ever come,
You'll find the same wet street,
The same crooked door.
I'll be here,
At the same old window,
On the same old creaking floor.

[Final Chorus]
In this dark house in Saint Petersburg, I keep a light for you!
One little flame in a cold room, burning true!
In this dark house in Saint Petersburg, the only ones who know it all are the shadows on the wall!
