The Dark of the Night Lyrics by Paul Schwartz

Earthbound

2002

I've prayed for this night to fall
For darkness enfolding
Betrayed by the golden sun
Blinded by the day
And now as the sky is pale
And twilight is blooming
Waves echo distantly
Soon we'll be
In the dark of the night
When the shadows are long
And the stars are alight
There's a fire in the air
And a breath on the wind
With the scent of your hair
In the dark of the night
By the cool of the moon
Will our passion ignite
We will soar, we will fly
On the wings of desire
We will rise to the sky and be one
In the dark of the night
Lost in a maze of dreams
My eyes are unseeing
Yearning I search for you
In the midnight air
I turn and I find you there
My angel of evening
Softly I call your name come to me
In the dark of the night
When the shadows are long
And the stars are alight
There's a fire in the air
And a breath on the wind
With the scent of your hair
In the dark of the night
By the cool of the moon
Will our passion ignite
We will soar, we will fly
On the wings of desire
We will rise to the sky...
In the dark of the night
When the shadows are long
And the stars are alight
There's a fire in the air
And a breath on the wind
With the scent of your hair
In the dark of the night
By the cool of the moon
Will our passion ignite
We will soar, we will fly
On the wings of desire
We will rise to the sky...
(In the dark...)
(In the dark...)
