the music of the night

night-time sharpens

heightens each sensation

darkness stirs and wakes imagination

silently the senses abandon their defenses

helpless to resist the notes i write

for i composed the music of the night

slowly

gently

night unfurls its splendor

grasp it

sense it tremulous and tender

hearing is believing

music is deceiving

hard as lightning

soft as candle light

there 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

deafening

music shall caress you

hear it

feel it

secretly posses 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

ah-ah-ah. you alone can make my song take flight

help me make the music of the night

help me make the music of the night
