Music Of The Night

Night-time sharpens, 
Heightens each sensation 

Darkness stirs and 
Wakes imagination 

Silently the senses 
Abandon their defences 

Helpless to resist the notes I write 
For I compose the music of the night 

Slowly, gently 
Night unfurls its splendour 

Grasp it, sense it 
Tremulous and tender 

Hearing is believing 
Music is deceiving 

Hardest lightning 
Softest candle light 
Dare you trust the music of the night 

Close your eyes 
For your eyes will only tell the truth 
And the truth isn't what you want to see 

In the dark it is easy to pretend 
That the truth is what it ought to be 

Softly, deftly 
Music shall careress you 

Fear it, feel it, 
Secretly posess you 

Open up your mind, 
Let your fantasies unwind, 

In this darkness which 
You know you cannot fight 
The darkness of the music of the night 

Close your eyes, start a journey 
Through a strange new world! 
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! 

Close your eyes 
And let music set you free 
Only then can you belong to me 

Floating, falling 
Sweet intoxication 

Touch me, trust me 
Savour each sensation 

Let the dream begin, 
Let your darker side give in 

To the power of the music that I write 
The power of the music of the night 
You alone can make my song take flight 
Help me make the music of the night
