Night and no morning

Day and no dawning

And the tears that keep falling

Over me

Dream with no ending

Darkness descending

And the years that keep calling

Out to me



And soon comes the morning sun

Exposing my desires

And then my heart will die

My eyes will burn as i start to cry

Eyes that seem only to weep

Eyes that reveal a fear

Where should be only sleep

A fear tomorrow may find me here

I push my tired body on

In keeping the dawn at bay

Afraid of what i've become

Afraid of another day

And soft is the rain on my face

Lady night weaves her magic spell

Hiding that which i fear

The face i knew only so well



Night and no morning

Day and no dawning

And the tears that keep falling

Over me

Endlessly searching

My hunger returning

Loneliness burning

Into me



If i believed in god

I'd pray for the dawn to stay away

For as the dawn awakes

This light will flicker, flicker and die

Eyes that are hungry as mine

Eyes that are desperate as mine

We look and we recognise

Both seeing something we despise



My eyes have seen tomorrow

My eyes have seen the truth

The all revealing eyes

Eyes that once burned, burned with youth

Eyes will reveal what is true

Eyes that look deep, deep in mine

Eyes that belonged to someone i love

Those eyes belong to someone like you
