The Music of the Night
Night time sharpens, heightens each sensationDarkness stirs and wakes imaginationSilently the senses abandon their defensesHelpless to resist the notes I writeFor I compose the music of the nightSlowly, gently, night unfurls its splendorGrasp it, sense it, tremulous and tenderHearing is believingMusic is deceivingHard as lightning, soft as candlelightDare you trust the music of the nightClose your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truthAnd the truth isn't what you want to seeIn the dark it is easy to pretendThat the truth is what it ought to beSoftly, deftly, music shall caress youHear it, feel it, secretly possess youOpen up your mindLet your fantasies unwindIn this darkness which you know you cannot fightThe darkness of the music of the nightClose your eyes, start a journey through a strange, new worldSongtexteLeave all thoughts of the world you knew beforeClose your eyes, and let music set you freeOnly then can you belong to meFloating (floating), falling (falling), sweet intoxicationTouch me (touch me), trust me (trust me), savor each sensationLet the dream beginLet your darker side give inTo the power of the music that I writeThe power of the music of the nightYou alone can make my song take flightHelp me make the music of theHelp me make the music of the night Aus Songtexte Mania
