In the Night
I see pink
Bleeding over the horizon
Melting into sorbet orange
Erasing the blackness and illuminating the sky
Then appears the great ball of fire
and I know that it's all over
That every nighttime ends with dawn
Our passion shrinks beneath the sky
Cowering from the blistering fire
Memories linger in each shadow
Yet our hearts no longer beat together
Our hands fall empty to our sides
Life causes us to squint our eyes
and cower from our potential
They say an endless night would be no good
But I would love to spend forever in your bed
Close your eyes and go back to sleep
In the night I will visit your dreams
But with the dew I evaporate
I'll squeeze your hand and step aside
But I cannot stand to walk away
Look in my eyes, look to the moon
For in the night we will survive
