lyrics

As Long As There Is Night

I was a saint on a balcony
Heaven blazing in my head
I knew you then as a sailor
Drifting deathless on the shore
And the river and the moon stood still
And the sea a silver bed
And I walked out in the dark town
I remember everything now
Though I have spent my days trying to forget

But how your body shines in the moonlight
I will make it mine for a while
As long as there is night and the grey wind sighs

[Inst.]

And aching one
What is it burns within?
O come on I can feel it
The memory of skin
I watched it all from above
Saw the flames rise
And the holy dove
And the yellow skies
You call it love

But how your body shines in the moonlight
I will make it mine for a while
As long as there is night and the grey wind sighs
As long as there is night and the grey wind sighs
As long as there is night and the grey wind sighs
