MIDNIGHTS RISE
Nocturnal rivers fill the air
And color dark waves through my hair
Where lampposts gleam in my dark eyes
And midnights rise
Where midnights rise
From the mist he follows me
With eyes that beckon, pure and free
And haunts my shadow with his own
And whispers with his flesh and bone
Here the darkness covers us
With secrets only we discuss
What only we could understand
What we must understand
And when the night recedes at dawn
A fond farewell to what has gone
Will pass our lips between us two
No promise in the daybreak's hue
And when the night returns to fall
May we replay what we recall
For we may never meet again
Where midnight ends
Where midnight ends
