ONLY AT NIGHT A moment of peace Won't hurt us too much The anguish won't cease But lessen with a touch The pain will not die But the wound starts to heal Still sometimes I cry Such confusion I feel It's not right to be here But too good to be wrong There is much that I fear And the night is so long Against you I'm warm Though I don't know my part As I die in your arms I'm reborn in your heart You hold me so tight I know what you're feeling But the east turning light Sends my battered soul reeling Then back as we were Out of sight, out of mind We can forget the hurt Until the night, when you're mine.
