Lyrics
Welcome 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.
Can we understand life
And live it at the same time
Where is this purpose you speak of?
I'll be the background of this photograph
The soundtrack to this night
And we are fading out, before our eyes
Close your eyes and welcome in the night
Close your eyes and welcome in the night
In heaven so wonderful
Why are we oh so afraid of dying young
We are dying young
We are the patterns and the shapes
The patchwork from the window on this place
We are alone, alone, alone
Close your eyes and welcome in the night
Close your eyes and welcome in the night
This television set, it burns my eyes
And there is no one here
That can keep me warm tonight
Where is this purpose
Where is the lie, the lie, the lie.
Close your eyes and welcome in the night,
Close your eyes and welcome in the night.
