It Was the Night

It was the night, it was the night before It was the night before we met I sat alone right by the phone It was the night, it was the day, it was the day you came It was the day you came my way, what can I say? You came to stay, it was the day There's a storm, outside my window Flashes in the sky, what a night I hear the voices calling And I see the people running in the light All this craziness I'm feeling just reminds me Rhat it really can't go on And I want so much to tell you But the number you have given me is wrong It was the night, it was the night before It was the night before we met I sat alone right by the phone It was the night, it was the time, it was the time we had It was the time we had to live, our time to give To be happy with, it was the time I'm sitting in my room with the silhouetted moon in my eye I stare into the darkness, and I see the planets hanging in the sky And this temporary feeling is just telling me I've seen it all before But the penetrating madness of the nightly news I really can't ignore It was the night We were drawn to the light We were climbing higher It was the day when we all came to say We were on fire - it was the night There are lovers on the roof They are waiting for the proof they can see There's an answer on its way It was due back here today, to be free And I thought that I should tell you That you're just another image of my mind But you need to keep it secret 'cos these days secrets are so hard to find It was the night, it was the night before It was the night before we met I sat alone right by the phone It was the night, it was the day, it was the day you came It was the day you came my way, what can I say? You came to stay, it was the day It was the time, it was the night
