Reclaim the Night

I've got to get you off my mind I've got the world to see I want to keep you out of sight Don't try to follow me I've got to get you off my mind I've got the world to see Hide from the light, stay out of sight Live parallel with me Is it the pull of the moon, beckoning? I faced the weather in my second skin I floated high on the tide, the current took me In the eye of a storm, panic shook me I've got to get you off my mind I've got the world to see I was afraid, I ran away Don't try to follow me The way he tells it No, that wasn't everything You hear a clumsy move, I see threatening Don't want to see him I don't want to see him Do I have to justify the way I'm feeling? We walk the long way Underneath a bright moon Reclaim the night, don't lose another And cross the street Hear someone close behind you Turn day to night, stay undercover His name's a warning: danger, exclamation! Reclaim the night, don't lose another This time the world demands an explanation Reclaim the night, don't lose another Time after time, I see him in the crowd, oh He cast a shadow, changed the weather And he's a footnote dropped in my biography But I know he's your friend, whatever (So long, so long, so long) (I reclaim the night) (So long, so long, so long) (I reclaim the night) (So long, so long, so long) (I reclaim the night) (So long, so long, so long) (I reclaim the night)
