Explain The Night Lyrics

Explain The Night lyrics

Explain the night to me 
Explain the stars  
Explain the way I feel 

Explain the scars  
Explain the outline of the trees against the sky 

Explain the tangled words of love we can’t untie  

Explain
the night to me  
Explain the black  
And how the light was lost  
And
how to get it back  
Explain the rising of the waves to swallow sand 

Explain how difficult it is to hold your hand  

We are wrapped
around our needing  
In a drunken trance  
Will you swing and sway me
slowly  
And pretend to dance  
We are wrapped around our sorrow  
In
a strong embrace  
And between your temple and your eye I hide my face 


Explain the night to me  
The pregnant moon  
Explain the sudden
urge  
The empty room  
Explain the way to blue  
And all the space 

Explain the makeup swiftly streaked across my face  

Explain the
night to me  
Explain the past  
Explain the thrill of love  
And why
it cannot last  
Explain the rings that slowly spread across the lake 

And how to someday learn to live with my mistakes  

We are wrapped
around our needing  
In a drunken trance  
Will you swing and sway me
slowly  
And pretend to dance  

We are wrapped around our sorrow 

In a strong embrace  
And between your temple and your eye I hide my
face..
