[verse] The heat still lingers long after sunset The heavy air clings to the screen so wet Out in the dark the chorus starts to climb A song from a world unseen in time [pre-chorus] Oh listen to them sing through the summer night A thousand voices in the pale moonlight Shaking the dust from the heavy leaves so deep Singing the secrets that the dark will keep [chorus] Singing through the night Singing through the night A thousand voices in the pale moonlight Shaking the dust from the heavy leaves so deep Singing the secrets that the dark will keep [verse] We sit on the porch in the shadows low Our voices are quiet and soft and slow While the fields are alive with the rhythm true That only the midsummer ever knew [pre-chorus] They spent their lives beneath the soil so deep Waiting for this brief release from sleep To fill the air with steady heat and grace And give the quiet night its peaceful space [chorus] Oh listen to them sing through the summer night A thousand voices in the pale moonlight Shaking the dust from the heavy leaves so deep Singing the secrets that the dark will keep [chorus]Singing through the night Singing through the night A thousand voices in the pale moonlight Shaking the dust from the heavy leaves so deep Singing the secrets that the dark will keep
