I've danced in the dark
I've felt the creeping night
What lingers in my heart
is the silent coming light
I've touched the lost and hurt
I've held their hands in mine
what matters not is lost
and what's lost is not our light
tell my skin it must come home
tell my lungs to get some soul
tell the sun that it is whole
tell the night to take control
and you told me I'd never be the same
watching you feel me with your eyes
and you told me I'd never sing the same
after singing with you one night
and the way that you kissed me
and the way that you told me goodbye
if you think you can get away
get away with this for one night
tell my skin it must come home
tell my lungs to get some soul
tell the sun that it is whole
tell the night to take control
tell the stars they are my friends
connecting nerves within my head
tell me I must not pretend
because the night is not the end
