The Music of the Night

The Music of the Night - Chris Mann

Nighttime sharpens

Heightens each sensation

Darkness stirs

And wakes imagination

Silently the senses

Abandon their defenses

Slowly gently

Night unfurls it's splendour

Grasp it sense it

Tremulous and tender

Turn your face away

From the garish light of day

Turn your thoughts away

From cold unfeeling light

And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender

To your darkest dreams

Purge your thoughts of the life

You knew before

Close your eyes

Let your spirit start to soar

And you'll live

As you've never lived before

Softly deftly

Music shall caress you

Hear it feel it

Secretly possess you

Open up your mind

Let your fantasies unwind

In this darkness that

You know you cannot fight

The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey

To a strange new world

Leave all thoughts of the world

You knew before

Let your soul

Take you where you long to be

Only then

Can you belong to me

Floating falling

Sweet intoxication

Touch me trust me

Savour each sensation

Let the dream begin

Let your darker side give in

To the power of

The music that I write

The power of the music of the night

You alone

Can make my song take flight

Help me make the music of the

Night
