The soft night calls
turn off the car engine
let the silence in
The click of headlights
and darkness floods this space
a darkness you could fade into
Breathe the whispering glimpses of
feelings no longer
detached by time nor space
A whisper,
and thoughts come flooding back
A memory,
secrets too heavy for this body
One by one,
let them fly
Away, through time and space
Away, through dark and quiet
Away, through this soft night
Away
The kiss of mist, cold against pink cheeks
breathe in whispering glimpses of
feelings no longer
Detached by time and space
the click of headlights, turn on the car engine
quiet darkness dissipates.

The soft night calls
turn off the car engine
let the silence in
The click of headlights
and darkness floods this space
a darkness you could fade into
Breathe the whispering glimpses of
feelings no longer
detached by time nor space
A whisper,
and thoughts come flooding back
A memory,
secrets too heavy for this body
One by one,
let them fly
Away, through time and space
Away, through dark and quiet
Away, through this soft night
Away
The kiss of mist, cold against pink cheeks
breathe in whispering glimpses of
feelings no longer
Detached by time and space
the click of headlights, turn on the car engine
quiet darkness dissipates.
