Step into the night
I’ll lie here beneath the
moon light
I ain’t strong enough
to fight though I’m
bright enough to know
I can see it in the stars
we’re spinning out of control
come on in from the cold
lay your hand in mine
together we’ll grow old
we’ll talk about it all
until one of us falls
asleep
I walk the streets alone
the winter wind just
cuts you to the bone
I’m on the darker side
of grey this pain won’t
let me go blown away
with the wind now
how was I to know
come on in from the cold
lay your hand in mine
together we’ll grow old
we’ll talk about it all
until one of us falls
asleep
I’ve been shaking
in my skin there’s
nothing left here
to believe in
now I’m turning
into them I can feel
the awful sting
all the colours have
run clear there’s no
beauty left within
come on in from the cold
lay your hand in mine
together we’ll grow old
we’ll talk about it all
until one of us falls
asleep …

I have seen a lot of places
though I’ve never
seen the snow
I drift beneath the
wisdom of a thousand
year old poem
you are just a stranger
though I know where
you’ve been
I’ve seen it in your sad eyes
I feel it on your skin
there is an echo in
the darkness there’s
a stillness in the air
I heard it in a whisper
that you still care
there is beauty in the
tragedy of this
broken world there’s a
subtle hint of indigo
in the smoke as it curls
there is a space between
you and I there’s a
shadow on the sun
reflecting on the water my
work here is almost done
now I’m left to face a new
day like a coward in the cold
I’ll wait beneath your breath
with the memories that I hold
now the taste of the wine
stays here for a while
as the candle light
burns on through the night
lavender perfume reminds
me of you … of you.
