This Is The Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When all is dark and there's no light
Lost in the deepest
star of night
I see you
Your hands are shaken
baby
You ain't been sleeping lately
There's something out there
And it don't seem very friendly does
it?
If I could help you I would help ya
But it's difficult
There's something much more powerful
Than both of us possessing me
I've got to get to grips
I don't want to feel like this
Your voice keeps
haunting me
I cannot eat or sleep
I'm going crazy in
this hazy fantasy
You put a spell on me
Aw but I ain't going down at all
So take your hands off me
Tonight I'm breaking free
This is the night
This is the night
So take your hands off me
Tonight I'm breaking free
This is the night
This is the night
There was a time I would've walked
I'm burning coals for you
Sail across the ocean blue
Climb the highest mountain just to call your name
The moon throws down its ligth
Cuts me to the quick tonigth
Strangers in the air
Nothing will ever be the same
You still look good to me
Ooh but you're no good for me
I close my eyes and
Squeeze you from my consciounees
I walk the line
I walk it straight
But the morning's so many miles away
So take your hands off me
Tonight I'm breaking free
This is the night
This is the night
So take your hands off me
Tonight I'm breaking free
This is the night
This is the night
