The dark night

I rode home on my bike tonight

It was quiet

A lone guy on a quiet street

I look around, feel the air on my face

I feel good

It feels good, the warmth, the night air

There are no stars at which to gaze

Nothing out of the ordinary to amaze

Yet the night feels so perfect

And the soft breeze soothes me so

I find myself staying outside

Just to be outside

That instant, I realise I want to share this moment with you

To share this not so amazing, yet so perfect night with you

For what is a feeling that cannot be shared?

A fleeting state of mind, untouchable, desolate and destined to be forgotten.

Yet a feeling shared... ah yes... a feeling shared...

This is what bonds are made of

This is what connects us and divides us the same

This is what captures an impression, makes it into a part of you

Alone we are but alone

Sometimes even within our own flock

Where so much is shared, so much is left unsaid

If only we could share

If only we could all share this feeling of this night

This dark night

If only I could share this feeling with you, my dear

So impossibly far away, yet so unnervingly near

If only we could lay down in the grass on our backs

To watch the stars, sparkling down on us from the deep blue sky

If only we could take the ride to eternity

And find our place amongst those stars

The place without boundaries and rules

Save those we impose on ourselves

Follow me dear, I know the way

You don't have to take a step

You don't have to beat your wings

For this place is locked inside your heart

Somewhere, deep within

Many turns we have already taken

On our ventures into the heart

And though we would claim it forsaken

This place has been with us from the start

Call it heaven, paradise, what you will

To me it is the dream, interwoven with life

From the first time you said hi

From the first time you said ... hi.

This is the dream that cannot be undone

The never-ending story, once it has begun

Yet maybe life will get us down

And all of this will come to pass

But this night is ours.

Divided by a thousand miles

And a thousand lives

I will share this gentle night with you

And share it with you forever.
