This track appears to be an exclusive club-friendly dance oriented version of the opening tune from the "Raining December" album. It was recorded in the very beginning of 2002 and until that moment it has strayed somewhere in the dust corners of our archives.
lyrics
I see the millions of bright lights
And each one cares for its own life
But there is dark and no one is near
And then the day will come again
And then the rain will fall again
I’ll be no longer here
When Lights Go Off...
