Night After Night

Darling, I loved you I long to become you And know what it is that you gave We dance the sorrow Forgive me tomorrow I pray Night after night Day after day Would you watch my body weaken My mind drift away? Dear lover forsaken Our love is taken away Well, you're my speaker My innocence-keeper I don't Night after night Day after day Would you watch my body weaken My mind drift away? Dear lover forgiven My love is driven by rage Oh, I should just leave you Instead I've deceived you But I don't Night after night Day after day Would you watch my body weaken My mind drift away? I account no one, hold nobody's ear I showed you my hand once and you hit me in fear I don't stand for the devil I don't whisper in ears I stand on the mountains and call people to hear It's sudden bursts of light It's a fate foretold It is knowing It is knowing He longs for the answers, as all of us must He longs for the woman who will conquer his lust He screams in the night I scream in the day We weep in the evening And lie naked and pray Night after night Day after day Night after night Day after day Night after night Day after day Would you watch my body weaken My mind drift away? It's a tempting communion It's a fate foretold It is knowing It is knowing What it is that you're told
