Victims Of 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.
Hmm, the searching fingers of the dawn
Are slowly creeping up the Eastern sky
So I won't disturb your sleep and I'll just touch your cheek
And leave without goodbye
But if you find regrets are waiting for yah
In the early mornin' light
Aww, don't blame yourself and don't blame me
For we were only victims of the night
Before you curse the mornin' sun
Just pause and wonder
Were we really wrong
How many other lovers are waiting
To face their own gray dawn
And they must also answer probin' questions
When the morning kills the night
Should they regret
(Or could it be)
We all were only victims of the night
As I leave you while you're smilin'
And I know that I'm gonna remember you that way
I don't need hasty promises
To cling to as I go to face that day
I only hope that I'll awake
To find the embers still are burning bright
And perhaps someday I'll find you
And be grateful we were victims of the night
And perhaps someday I'll find you
And be grateful we were victims of the night
