Nights Like These
Silence fell like healing, as I turned to shout"Won't somebody up there please help me out?"There's a dead end street around every corner I takeAnd the daylight displays my greatest mistakesHallucinations, body and soulEach night I feel a little more less in controlShe spoke of Whitman and the turnin' of the leavesLovers were made for nights like theseI've been waiting on the wonder, I dream does existThey smile as I'm goin' under and claim I'll be missedOne step away from paradise one step away from painThe seeds of despair bloom into weeds of shameI've seen a fallen rainbow in white and blackI can feel that restless shadow stickin' knives in my backBut there's penance and passion, patience and peaceLovers were made for nights like theseNow the cool majestic evening invites me to burnI've been waitin' for tomorrow but tonight it's my turnIntoxicated by the banter that the bluebird singsBy the visions of forgiveness when those church bells ringI've seen the face of evil, sometimes it looks like mineI've confronted all my weaknesses, down on my kneesLovers were made of nights like theseDreamin' was made for nights like theseSalvation was made for nights like theseForgiveness was made for nights like theseLovers were made for nights like these From Letras Mania
