Friends and neighbours (as Stephen King might say),

Could anyone provide the female artist's name and title for these lyrics of a song dating from the very late 1970s
or early 1980s:

In the late afternoon
I hear the traffic on the city streets again.
Here alone in my room (or: All alone in my room)
I welcome in the twilight like a friend.
My world has turned around
since you went away.
I'm living on the dark side
hiding from the day.

Night winds, blow me away
far from morning.
Night winds, I wanna stay
on the wings of a dream.

In the deep purple haze
xx
xx
xx
I would do anything
anything that would set me free
from living on the dark side
with my memories.

Night winds, blow me away
far from morning.
Night winds, I wanna stay
on the wings of a dream.


Transcribed from memory though, hence the gaps.

I am friendly ghost, but also a frustrated one! Please help!
