Walking down the street late at night
Makin´ a little noise
Listenin´ to my own footsteps in the fallin´ rain
Searchin´ in the darkness for a wonderful light
Waitin´ for your voice
To tell me just a few words – anything to ease my pain

I´m gonna strike a match
And in its light I´m gonna find you
Anytime and anywhere you may hide
Maybe I´m gonna strike a match
And it´s you I´m gonna catch
Somewhere in the darkest corner where I see the light

Walkin´ round the little square lookin´ just for you
Here, there and everywhere
Hopin´ to find your little footprints in the dust
Sometimes I don´t find your trace, sometimes I do
Baby I don´t care
I´m gonna search till the end of the world if I must

Strikin´ a match may help me or not
Life is more than fair
I know that one day I´ll look around and you´ll be there

I´m gonna strike a match
And in its light I´m gonna find you
Anytime and anywhere you may hide
Hey baby, I´m gonna strike a match
Now it´s me who´s walking right behind you
In your darkest corner you´ll see my light
I´m gonna strike a match
Now it´s me who´s walking right behind you
In your darkest corner you´ll see my light
