The Ecstasy of Flight (I Love the Night)

Come to my door, meet me at midnight,

I can't wait anymore, and after midnight

We must head for the town,

Keep under cover till dawn

With a bagful of wine;

The night is alive, look in the shadows,

Because now is the time, out in the shadows,

To be somebody else, a complete transformation

From the someone we are in the day;

I hear a noise - there is something going on;

I hear a voice - there is something going on;

I see the boys - there is something going on;

And something is happening to me, yea;

I love the night, I love the night,

I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,

I love the night, I love the night,

I love to dance with a stranger and feel her delight,

And when the dancing is through, I kick off my shoes,

And I listen to the beating of my heart...

After the fall, then came the hunger

In the hearts of us all, ooh such a hunger

That begins after dark, hides in the heart

Like a wolf that is waiting inside;

I see a light - there is something going on;

It's getting bright - there is something going on;

I look outside - there is something going on;

And someone is calling to me;

I love the night, I love the night,

I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,

I love the night, I love the night,

I love to be with a stranger and feel her delight,

And when the morning begins, I have to get in

Before sunlight can fall upon my face;

I love the night, I love the night,

I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,

I love the night, I love the night,
