Night After Night

06.Night After Night
.
Darling, I loved you
I long to become you
And know what it is that you gave
.
We dance the sorrow
Forgive me tomorrow
I pray night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken
My mind drift away?
.

Dear lover forsaken,
our love is taken away
.
You were my keeper, my innocence-speaker
I don't night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body weaken,
My mind drift away?
.
Dear lover forgiven,
my love is driven by rage
.
Oh I should just leave you,
instead of deceive you
But I don't
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body
weaken and mind drift away?
.
I count to no one, hold nobody's ear
I sold you my hand once
and you hit me in fear
I don't stand for the devil
I don't whisper in ears
I stand on the mountains and call people to hear
.
It's a sudden burst of light,
it's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing
.
He longs for the answers, as all of us must
He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust
He screams in the night, I scream in the day
We weep in the evening and lie naked and pray
.
Night after night, day after day
Night after night, day after day
Would you watch my body
weaken and my mind drift away?
.
It's a tempting communion
It's a fate foretold
It is knowing, it is knowing
What it is that you're told
