[Intro] Wild nights... wild nights... Were I with thee... Wild nights... wild nights... What would become of me? [Verse 1] The wind turned against the tide, Even the moon had nowhere to hide. I hear your name beneath the rain, Close my eyes, and there you are again. I've watched the distant lights go down, One by one, across this town. And every road I thought I'd take Leads to a longing I can't shake. [Pre-Chorus] What need have I for northern stars When all I want is where you are? Let every compass lose its way, There's only one place I would stay. [Chorus] Wild nights, wild nights, Let the whole sky break. I've been holding back a feeling That the night can't take. Wild nights, wild nights, No compass, no sea. All this distance disappears When you're close to me. [Verse 2] I know the warmth beneath your skin, The way your breath comes slowly in. How one small touch can make me stay Long after words have slipped away. And here I am, so far from you, With all this wanting running through. The sheets are cool, the hour's late, I turn toward the space where you should lay. [Pre-Chorus 2] No need to ask the wind for grace, No need to know the time or place. Let oceans rise, let heavens roam, One touch from you would bring me home. [Chorus] Wild nights, wild nights, Let the whole sky break. I've been holding back a feeling That the night can't take. Wild nights, wild nights, No compass, no sea. All this distance disappears When you're close to me. [Bridge] If I reached across the darkness, Would your hand reach back for mine? I've been brave against the ocean, But not against your silence tonight. And if I crossed a thousand waters, If I followed every star, Would I find you waiting for me, Or still be wishing where you are? [Final Chorus] Wild nights, wild nights, Let the whole sky break. There's a love I cannot quiet, There's a longing I can't shake. Wild nights, wild nights, Let the world fall away. No more searching for a harbor, No more words I need to say. Wild nights, wild nights, Were I with thee... Might I but moor tonight, Tonight... in thee. [Outro] Wild nights... Wild nights... Were I with thee... Tonight... In thee.
