[Intro] When the city closes its eyes... Something else comes alive... Ooh... ooh... [Verse 1] The last train fades into the blue The streets forget what they once knew A gentle breeze against my skin Unwinds the noise I've kept within The windows glow like distant stars The silence travels through the cars And for a moment, I can hear The world beneath the atmosphere [Pre-Chorus] But every shadow has a name And nothing ever stays the same Behind the beauty, something hides A different world on either side [Chorus] A thousand nights in one One to heal and one to run One to fall in love beneath One that steals away your sleep One is cool against the skin One lets all the ghosts come in A thousand nights in one And I wanna feel them all [Post-Chorus] Ooh... soft and strange Ooh... everything can change Ooh... beneath the moon A thousand nights in one... [Verse 2] A taxi paints the pavement gold Your fingers warm my hands from cold Two strangers dancing in the rain Like nothing here could cause them pain But somewhere down an empty street A sudden sound, a quickened beat A siren cuts the velvet sky And every shadow comes alive [Pre-Chorus 2] The world turns tender, then unknown A crowded city feels alone And in the space between the stars We wonder who we really are [Chorus] A thousand nights in one One to heal and one to run One to fall in love beneath One that steals away your sleep One is cool against the skin One lets all the ghosts come in A thousand nights in one And I wanna feel them all [Instrumental Break] Ooh... ah... Ooh... ah... [Bridge] If every light went out tonight Would darkness steal the world from sight? Or would a million hidden things Unfold beneath invisible wings? The dark is never truly still It holds a thousand dreams until The morning takes them all away And gives them back another day [Final Chorus] A thousand nights in one One to break and one to mend One to kiss before the sun One you wish would never end One as cold as winter air One that tells you someone's there A thousand nights in one And I have felt them all A thousand nights in one Every shadow, every sun Every fear and every dream Every world we've never seen [Outro] The first light touches empty streets A thousand stories drift to sleep And all the magic fades from view... Until the night comes back anew... (Whispered) A thousand nights... In one...
