There are stars behind those stars
There are bands after this band
There are shows after this show
There are streets beyond those streets
There are towns beyond this town
There are hills beyond those hills
There are seas beyond those seas
There are stars behind those stars
There are skins beneath these shirts
There are hearts beneath those skins
There are hearts beneath those hearts
There are stars beyond those stars
There are nights darker than this night
There are nights after this night
(We know there are)
Black night is falling,
The sun is gone to bed,
Black night I know your eyes,
Black night take me, try.
Black night, I'm at your side
Black night, I've become your bride
Oh, black night, take me inside
For you have spread me wide
What use, wide eyes, in black night?
In black night's longer sight,
Take me inside!
Take me and make me wide!
Black night!
I feel your sword swoop past my Earth,
I feel your palm open on my hand,
I feel you veins upon my skin,
I feel the distance between us and them,
There are black nights beyond tonight!
There are stars beyond our sight!
Take me inside, open my eyes,
Take me dry, take me inside,
Take me and spread me wide,
Black night!
Spread me wide!
Black night, I have become your eyes,
In new black night, I am your spy
So where'd my life go?
Where'd I live my life?
How'd all my songs go so fast?
Why, oh why, did I think they're mine?
Black night, where are you as
My new horizon, noon's light?
I see headlights on the ridge of the hill,
Tears tear my eyes,
I won't start singing 'til this place is empty,
I won't start singing 'til this place is empty,
Black night, I won't start singing 'til this place is clear
I won't give in out of fear,
I won't start singing 'til this place is empty,
I won't start singing until this place is clear.
You're mine, Black Night,
Show me why.
