You were the night that failed to depart Because I was holding on And though we were quiet The birds made the sky bid farewell They went somewhere unknown Shadows move slowly I know that you know me As one who was made for the light But if I could show you, I could unfold too Become acquainted with night You sent me the cold white shape of the moon In the city lit by this gloom It’s how you talk to me in the forest of song I am led, let me be led on Now that you’ve shown me I hope I know my own way home Someday, baby Someday, baby You were the night that had to depart And I was the prodigal sun Returning to places I knew before I knew the dark could come Shadows move slowly I hope you might know me As one who’s acquainted with night Now that you’ve gone, I’ll be mourning I’ll be mourning tonight From Letras Mania
