Into the Night

It's dark in the office everyone's gone
The wind on the glass sings a lonely song
And he sits and he thinks of his life and where he belongs
Another time and another place
And the ghost of a smile moves across his face
As he thinks of the things he would do if he only knew how
Soon he's down there in the street
And he's walking on silver feet

Into the night under a river of stars
Into the night I wonder where you are
When all of the voices stop asking you why
And nothing can hold you but the earth and the sky
Into the night

The barman smiles as he rings the bell
The survivors tell him to go to hell
All the tables are covered with empties it's time to go home
The lights come up and the gear breaks down
And they load up the truck for another town
The manager smiles as the envelope changes hands
The sleeping town remains
As the headlights pull away

Into the night
Under a river of stars
Into the night
I wonder where you are
When all of the voices stop asking you why
And then nothing can hold you but the earth and the sky
Into the night

Somewhere out there a light is burning
You'd better hold on 'cause the world's still turning

The sun is down in the moon is high
Looking all alone in a neon sky
The sound of the traffic plays counterpoint in your brain
The last thing she told you still rings true
But you know there's some things that you just can't do
Will you follow this river all the way down to the sea
Your friends all think you're strange but you'll probably never change
Into the night under a river of stars
Into the night
I wonder where you are
When all of the voices stop asking you why
And then nothing can hold you but the earth and the sky
Into the night
