Nightbird

I'm standin' at the door
Cryin', let me in
I see her dancin' there in all her wonder
How her body moves with eternal youth
And her footsteps hammer on like rollin' thunder

While I'm stuck here in the shadows
Fuelin' the dream
Another face just flashin' in the night
The smoke, it folds around me
Like unenchanted wings
As I listen to the night birds singin' in their flight

Oh, close this great divide
Between my heart and mind

Well, shе held me in my anguish
Pulled mе from my pain
And sheltered me from life's mysteries
Somewhere beyond the darkness
Lies incredible light
At least, that's what she once made me believe

So, go dive in empty spaces
Where magic weaves and spins
Go find her there, it's where she set me free
Now, I'm pullin' chains from every corner of her memory
Go find her there and bring her back to me

Oh, close this great divide
Between my heart and mind

Just listen to the night birds, ooh
Listen to the night birds, ooh
Listen to the night birds, ooh
Listen to the night birds, ooh
Well, if I could turn my back now
Lay back down with you
I'd pull you in and finally get some sleep
Listenin' to the night birds
Without wondering how
They hold her in their song so casually
