The Night Loves Us

It’s the magic hour in the middle of the park
When it’s not quite daylight and not quite dark
The edge of the water is where it all starts
We might never get back here again

And time stands still in the river’s arms
Sinking slowly away from the lights of the car
But we see each other, we know who we are
Our secret’s the star of the show
And deeper and deeper we go

Come on open your heart
The night loves us and loves us as we are
Oh, c’mon show me your scars
The night loves us and loves us as we are
The night loves us and loves us as we are

Here in the moonlight it’s easy to trace
The blue of my bruises, the lines of your face
But beauty so true it should not be erased
And buried for no one to know
So deeper and deeper we go

Come on open your heart
The night loves us and loves us as we are
Oh, c’mon show me your scars
The night loves us and loves us as we are
The night loves us and loves us as we are
The night loves us and loves us as we are

Now every magic hour between daylight and dark
I still feel the water, I still see the stars
For we stole a moment and took it to heart
And it beats every turn in the road
So deeper and deeper we go

Come on open your heart
The night loves us and loves us as we are
Oh, c’mon show me your scars
The night loves us and loves us as we are
