night spills glitter on the sky
changing moon and clouds go by
ocean mist is tear in eye
tell me can you tell me why?
why do we stop when the sun goes down?
when all the world is spinning `round?
my eyes hold blue left from the day
my heart warms up this twilight gray
my soul holds sun and lights the way
by midnight i should sleep you say
why go in when the light goes out?
the dark is sin we fear we doubt
ideas rain down from thundercloud
i soak in thought and laugh out loud
oh how'd i stray from the madding crowd?
in getting lost at last i'm found
why do we stop when the light is gone?
when all the world is going on...
we wait for dawn
