Explain the night to me |
|
Explain the stars |
|
Explain the way I feel |
|
Explain the scars |
|
Explain the outline of the trees against the sky |
|
Explain the tangled words of love we can't untie |
|
Explain the night to me |
|
Explain the black |
|
And how the light was lost |
|
And how to get it back |
|
Explain the rising of the waves to swallow sand |
|
Explain how difficult it is to hold your hand |
|
We are wrapped around our needing |
|
In a drunken trance |
|
Will you swing and sway me slowly |
|
And pretend to dance |
|
We are wrapped around our sorrow |
|
In a strong embrace |
|
And between your temple and your eye I hide my face |
|
Explain the night to me |
|
The pregnant moon |
|
Explain the sudden urge |
|
The empty room |
|
Explain the way to blue |
|
And all the space |
|
Explain the makeup swiftly streaked across my face |
|
Explain the night to me |
|
Explain the past |
|
Explain the thrill of love |
|
And why it cannot last |
|
Explain the rings that slowly spread across the lake |
|
And how to someday learn to live with my mistakes |
|
We are wrapped around our needing |
|
In a drunken trance |
|
Will you swing and sway me slowly |
|
And pretend to dance |
|
We are wrapped around our sorrow |
|
In a strong embrace |
|
And between your temple and your eye I hide my face.. |
