Twilight falls across the bay
Soothes the worries of the day
As the shore adores the sea
Me for you and you for me
Stars appear across the sky
Whisper leaf and curlew cry
As the lock is for the key
Me for you and you for me
There is traffic, there is waste
Icy doubt and black disgrace
There are thunderclouds of fear
But they cannot touch us here
There are nightmares, there are wars
Broken hearts and slamming doors
There are phantoms of the mind
Here, we leave them all behind
Gentle darkness on the land
Beating hearts and touching hands
It's as simple as can be
Me for you, and you for me.

Twilight falls across the bay
Soothes the worries of the day
As the shore adores the sea
Me for you and you for me
Stars appear across the sky
Whisper leaf and curlew cry
As the lock is for the key
Me for you and you for me
There is traffic, there is waste
Icy doubt and black disgrace
There are thunderclouds of fear
But they cannot touch us here
There are nightmares, there are wars
Broken hearts and slamming doors
There are phantoms of the mind
Here, we leave them all behind
Gentle darkness on the land
Beating hearts and touching hands
It's as simple as can be
Me for you, and you for me.
