For the Sake of the Night

Some time last night
I think it was three
She spoke no words
But yet she talked to me

Said come down now
And follow me
There's a world out there
You need to see

Cruel night sky
Dark like shoeshine
Violent clouds
The mud on the stars
Ignoring sirens
And the speeding cars
Our vital urge
Sets fire to our plastic earth

Dance through the day
As they bleach out their hearts
For the sake of the night
For it's all we got

She flies to me
On wings of flight
She cries out to me
That butterfly
The song she sings
Unfolds the night
My love for her
Will never die

She flies to me
On wings of flight
She cries out to me
That butterfly
The song she sings
Unfolds the night
My love for her
Will never die

I know some day soon
That I too shall fly
But my wings are so tired
And so am I

Why?

She told me
Don't ever fear
Your butterfly
She's always here
Ignore the doubts
And the thieves of time
For tonight
Tonight is yours and mine

Dance through the day
As they bleach out their hearts
For the sake of the night
For it's all we got

She flies to me
On wings of flight
She cries out to me
That butterfly
The song she sings
Unfolds the night
My love for her
Will never die

She flies to me
On wings of flight
She cries out to me
That butterfly
The song she sings
Unfolds the night
My love for her
Will never die

She told me
Don't ever fear
Your butterfly
She's always here
Ignore the doubts
And the thieves of time
For tonight
Tonight is yours and mine
