When the sun goes down
  I open up my window for hours and I watch
  
  Every passing stranger
  Every early shadow, I wonder if it's you
  
  Always I'm dreaming, and recklessly scheming
  How to get you back in my life
  
  I want you now
  And I'm prepared to take chances
  I've told you how
  I won't take no for an answer
  
  Every empty evening
  The sailors sit downstairs, drinking 'til they fight
  
  Shout and raucous laughter
  Sounds of breaking glass shatter through the night
  
  The men from the circus are juggling with knives
  The acrobats fall just like you
  
  I want you now
  And I'm prepared to take chances
  I've told you how
  I won't take no for an answer
  I won't take no for an answer
  
  Now you're miles away
  'Cross the sea, out of reach, unheard
  I've cried to you for help
  But the wind blows away all my words
  
  
  You sat there once beside me
  Where the actors play, you kissed me every night
  
  When you left you promised
  You'd soon be back to stay, and it would be alright
  
  Now I'm abandoned, my letters unanswered
  Got to get you back in my life
  
  I want you now (I want you now)
  And I'm prepared to take chances
  I've told you how (I've told you how)
  I won't take no for an answer
  
  I want you now (I want you now)
  And I'm prepared to take chances
  I've told you how (I've told you how)
  I won't take no for an answer
