Cross the Night

The coast ship was sailin' across the night I'd seen it from her window in the pale moonlight So I sent my prayers to bed I sent my dreams ahead And to my lover I said We'd feel better in the mornin' She is waitin' for reason why She is waitin' across the night When I'm with Mary I talk about you And how hard some relationships are To let go of or work through Ooh, we're in a strange situation but in good faith I can't let it break her heart 'cause that would be a waste Of the love we shared and the time we spent together But he is wonderin' how to say goodbye And she is waitin' across the night Somewhere across the night Whoa, whoa High above the telephone wires I fly like a bird in flight To your love, to your light, to your light, to your love Oh yeah, oh yeah I have to get across tonight Whoa, whoa Help me get across tonight I fly like a bird in flight To your light, to your love, to your love, to your light Oh yeah, oh yeah Help me get across tonight It was the tail of the comet Steven Spielberg presents A fuzzy Q-tip hangin' in the sky More like some picture than a real event Ooh, the song in my heart is forever yours 'Cause you filled me up with gratitude And whether it be win or lose You always give me somethin' I can use You lift me up out of my solitude And embraced me with your truth She is waitin' no reason why She is waitin' across the night Somewhere across the night Oh, whoa High above the telephone wires I fly like a bird in flight To your love, to your light, to your light, it's alright Oh yeah, oh yeah I have to get across tonight Whoa, whoa Help me get across tonight I'll fly like a bird in flight To your light, to your love, it's alright, it's alright Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah Have to get across tonight
