Lyrics
Oh, guiding night, more beautiful than the dawn
That guides me to you and unites us
As I’m changed in you, a pawn…
Of the night
Oh gentle breeze that blows across the body saved for me
And through the trees
As I part your sleeping hair time seems to cease…
I press your face to me
Chorus:
One dark night
I feel the welcome fire in me
Fueled by desire in me
My only light
Is the one that burns within my heart
It guides me straight to where you are
One dark night
Oh time stood still, as I’m lost in you I lose myself
And my cares on the window sill
Where I climbed the secret ladder up to bind you to myself…
Two hearts, one will
(chorus)
It’s brighter than the noon light
And warmer than the sun
And I fear all, but the moonlight
For my wings of wax will melt and I will fall
