The night sits heavy on us all
As the well dressed persons leave the ball
There seems to be joyous celebration in the air
And a moment's silence they cannot bear
The ruckus floats away through the night sky
Tonight ain't a night of goodbyes
The pristine eyes now filled with lust
Inhibitions are lost, found is inebriated trust
Numbers exchanged among mostly glances
The night fondly reminisced, retread the dances
Some leave with friends, others with strangers
Forgotten are the daily fears and dangers
And yet the night sits heavy on us all
As life suddenly slows down to a crawl

The night sits heavy on us all
As the well dressed persons leave the ball
There seems to be joyous celebration in the air
And a moment's silence they cannot bear
The ruckus floats away through the night sky
Tonight ain't a night of goodbyes
The pristine eyes now filled with lust
Inhibitions are lost, found is inebriated trust
Numbers exchanged among mostly glances
The night fondly reminisced, retread the dances
Some leave with friends, others with strangers
Forgotten are the daily fears and dangers
And yet the night sits heavy on us all
As life suddenly slows down to a crawl
