Before The Night Takes Me

You forget everything I say
But it doesn't matter now
It's too hard for me to find my way
Give me time or take me out
My energies are divided now
Between this life and my death
You always felt inspired
And I'd give my hunger for your breath

Before the night takes me
While my lungs float on your tide
My words in silence carry
Your love was the one place I could hide

Sand hits my feet at the water's edge
And I can taste the salted air
On your pillow in the corner of your bed
Can I stay a little longer there

Before the night takes me
While my lungs float on your tide
My words in silence carry
Your love was the one place I could hide

From the dusk my eyes are fading
Your song is my delight and my reward
Don't ever stop anticipating
Your love can end this fight and win this war
Give me everything that you had planned
Hold the door open in your heart
My body will not survive this stand
Your will can tear my words apart

Before the night takes me
While my lungs float on your tide
My words in silence carry
Your love was the one place I could hide

Before the night takes me
While my lungs float on your tide
My words in silence carry
Your love was the one place
The one place I could hide
