Lyrics
Only 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.
All along the street they're holding signs that say
That I am lost and that I do not know the way
I asked the rock, sitting in a shade of grey
I asked the rock, he didn't have a thing to say
So you are the only light I see
You are the only light I need
When everybody else is sleeping
You come along and help me breathe
When I was a stone no-one knew that I was there
I'd sing my song but no-one ever really cared
I went to the mountain face all covered in tears
I wept but the mountain didn't seem to hear
I'll love you until the mountain starts to cry
I'll love you if I don't know the reason why
I'll love you until I do not know my name
I ask you wouldn't you have done the same?
