Tonight

So still in the darkness, waiting for dawn

Night sky is a magnet and the stars keep on calling

To my mind, like a siren

So I lie down, on the damp cold ground

Tonight oh oh, tonight oh oh

Heat of lamentation like a volcano burning in my chest

Night sky and the earth in me converging, compressed

With light older than time right here above me

My eyes open wide to this ageless mystery tonight

Tonight oh oh, tonight oh oh

The world could end tonight

And I’d be fine, I’d be flying

Tonight I’m all alone

Beneath a dome of silver starlight

Tonight Orion flies above the lonely mountainside

Tonight the moon, Venus too

Illuminate my goodbye

I watch tonight get pained by a sunrise

Here with you

So still in the darkness waiting, waiting

Tonight oh oh, tonight oh oh

The world could end tonight

And I’d be fine, I’d be flying high

This is my last goodbye

Goodbye
