I tore open the package it was an empty box
No meaning to me just an empty box

Sender was a woman
Sender was a woman

She said she's sending me everything that I... I... I never gave her... before, she said:

Fill it up and send it back
Fill it up and send it back

So I sent her back an empty box
A big mistake, sent back an empty box

Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound [in the night]

I crossed into a valley, a valley so dark that when I look back
I can't see where I began, I can't see my hands,
I don't even know if my eyes are open.

In the morning I was by the sea and I swam out as far as
I could swim 'til I was too tired to swim anymore and then
I floated and tried to get my strength back.

And then an empty box came floatin' by,
an empty box and I crawled inside.

Half in the shadows, half in the husky moonlight
And half insane just a sound in the night

Half in the shadows, half in the hustky moonlight
And half insane just a sound [in the night]
