I came to see you
But you weren't there
I waited eight hours
And no one seemed to care

When all the world is fast asleep
A little devil into my heart creeps
He sings a song into my inner ear
He sings a reverie to Chanticleer

I tried to call you
But you wouldn't answer the phone
I waited eight hours
In my room all alone

When all the world is fast asleep
A little devil into my heart creeps
He sings a song into my inner ear
He sings a reverie to Chanticleer

When every angel's lost its will to fly
And every mother's lost her strength to cry
A little devil into my heart creeps
A little devil in me, fast asleep
