The Hitmen - Comfort Me

From the album Torn Together (1981)
It's in strange situations that dreams are laid
Just a look and they taunt you again
You think how it felt then the memory fades
As you enter the once promised land
She squeezes then lets go of your hand
Comfort me
She sat out of the lamplight as if to hide
While waiting for who I'll never know
She smokes like she means to fill what she feels
That's empty with nowhere to go
She sighs as she breathes me hello
Comfort me
She looks right through me to another face
A smile on her eyes from another time and place
Oh to feel what it was that happened then
But she couldn't take me there
The streets seem familiar but something's gone
I watch as she slumbers to go
In search of the picture that fills what she feels
I break into her once long ago
She just smiles as she breathes him hello
Comfort me
She looks right through me to another face
A smile on her eyes from another time and place
Oh to feel what it was that happened then
But she couldn't take me there
It's in strange situations that dreams are laid
Just a thought and they haunt you again
If you'd know how it felt would it be the same
If you'd entered that once promised land
If she'd squeezed then held onto your hand
Comfort me

Alan Wilder (from Depeche Mode) plays keys on this. You hear his somber style for sure in this one.
