Lyrics

[00:00.34] 06.Night After Night
[00:02.59] .
[00:23.04] Darling, I loved you
[00:24.92] I long to become you
[00:27.42] And know what it is that you gave
[00:31.63] .
[00:34.19] We dance the sorrow
[00:36.00] Forgive me tomorrow
[00:38.26] I pray night after night, day after day
[00:45.82] Would you watch my body weaken
[00:48.45] My mind drift away?
[00:50.38] .
[00:56.69]
[01:06.63] Dear lover forsaken,
[01:09.51] our love is taken away
[01:11.04] .
[01:16.60] You were my keeper, my innocence-speaker
[01:21.85] I don't night after night, day after day
[01:28.78] Would you watch my body weaken,
[01:31.28] My mind drift away?
[01:34.85] .
[01:49.60] Dear lover forgiven,
[01:52.22] my love is driven by rage
[01:55.66] .
[01:59.22] Oh I should just leave you,
[02:01.85] instead of deceive you
[02:04.22] But I don't
[02:06.10] Night after night, day after day
[02:11.41] Would you watch my body
[02:12.72] weaken and mind drift away?
[02:16.91] .
[02:21.28] I count to no one, hold nobody's ear
[02:25.41] I sold you my hand once
[02:27.66] and you hit me in fear
[02:30.41] I don't stand for the devil
[02:32.91] I don't whisper in ears
[02:35.59] I stand on the mountains and call people to hear
[02:46.72] .
[02:52.97] It's a sudden burst of light,
[02:55.59] it's a fate foretold
[02:58.16] It is knowing, it is knowing
[03:04.72] .
[03:18.09] He longs for the answers, as all of us must
[03:23.16] He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust
[03:28.35] He screams in the night, I scream in the day
[03:33.72] We weep in the evening and lie naked and pray
[03:38.53] .
[03:40.60] Night after night, day after day
[03:45.91] Night after night, day after day
[03:51.22] Would you watch my body
[03:57.72] weaken and my mind drift away?
[04:00.78] .
[04:06.84] It's a tempting communion
[04:09.16] It's a fate foretold
[04:11.85] It is knowing, it is knowing
[04:23.84] What it is that you're told
