Victim of the Night

Midnight lovers whispering
Songs that only lovers sing
I caress your every spoken word
Melodies and symphonies
Only we's, no you's and me's
The softest touch that I have ever heard

Now I try to understand
Why I can't hear your eyes sing any more
Please love, do explain
What isn't now that used to be before

Here I go, imagining
Your voice is calling
Calling, calling, calling out my name
But it's not you
It's just echoes
Playin' a cool, a cruel and empty game

Takes two to tango, to take the chance
To love, to have, to hold romance
But one to change, and rearrange your heart
You say you still love me, (Only)
Now, you're feeling lonely
And the two of us is tearing you apart

So I try to understand
Why I can't feel your heart dance any more
Please try to explain
What isn't now that used to be before

Here I go, imagining
Your arms are reaching
Reaching, reaching out to hold me tight
But it's not you
It's just shadows, swirling
I'm another victim of the night

SOLO

If one day I run into the you that I never knew
I'II tell her all about who I've become
I won't remind her of our song
She'll be talking, I'll be talking, we'll play dumb
I'll think, please love, do explain
Why a good day is a day when I feel numb

Still. here I go, imagining
Your voice is calling
Calling, saying, love, come make it right
But it's not you
It's just echoes, screaming
Met by silence, when my eyes hit daylight

My midnight dance is with my shadow
Swirling, Twirling
I'm another victim of the night
