Walk the Night
The midnight hour is one away.
The haunting call of the wild wind
And the vexing sweetness of your song
Are killing me. And I can't,
I just can't break away the night.
Walk it, I must. And when a smile
On your face is broken, my heart eloped
Like smoke, just like a million times before.
When the hour draws near,
It is time to
Walk the night.
