Its A Dark Night [Best]

[Intro]: [Verse 1]: Your death kindled a hidden yearning, A flame that's burning fierce and slow. Through secret corridors, unknowing, Down which path the spirit must go. Silent as a thief at daybreak, Soft as the breath before one cries! All I've known of you is retreating, As I stare into your cold and lifeless eyes. [Chorus]: Its a Dark night for the soul----. (We have to say, goodbye--!). Its a Dark night for the soul----! (And I must stay, behind--!). Its a Dark night for the soul----. (The line we all must cross!) Its a Dark night for the soul----! All love---, is marked by--, loss---. [Piano and cello fill] [Verse 2]: Unseen you slip beyond the threshold, Where mere reflections would not dare! To face the certainties we're given, That broken! virtue!, named! despair! Hands cannot grasp at nothing, Just as dust may not return to form! Life withdraws its quiet blessing, Since that happy day, that we were born! [Chorus]: Its a Dark night for the soul----. (We have to say, goodbye--!). Its a Dark night for the soul----! (And I must stay, behind--!). Its a Dark night for the soul----. (The line we all must cross!) Its a Dark night for the soul----! All love---, is marked by--, loss---. [Bridge]: Was it you that I saw waving, Out of the corner of my eye? Are you a ghost called by my longing, Summoned with--, each tear--, I've cried---! Is someone there, Have you been listening? Will you heed my selfish plea?, To leave whatever world you're in, And find--- your--- way--- back--- to me---! [Chorus 2]: Its a Dark night for the soul----. (Why do we have to say, goodbye--!). Its a Dark night for the soul----! (And why must I stay behind--!). Its a Dark night for the soul----. (It's a line I cannot cross) Its a Dark night for the soul----! Why must all love--, be marked by-- its-- loss---! [Musical interlude]: [Verse 3]: No map can lead me to you, No words can force, the heart to mend! Only the quiet pull of, something, Screaming to be with you again--!! I lay my weapons at your feet, Discard my armor forged with pride! Uncertainty, of what comes after, The day I too, will leave this world behind---! [Chorus 3]: Its a Dark night for the soul----! Its a Dark night for the soul----! Its Dark night for the soul----. Its a Dark night, for the soul----! [Musical breakdown]: [Bridge]: Was it you that I saw crying, When I tried to look away? The better, part of me, That someone chose---, to send---, away---! Was it you that I heard talking, When I'm sitting all alone? Your Absence is a heavy burden, That weighs me down, like a stone! [Chorus 2]: Its a Dark night for the soul----. (We have to say, goodbye--!). Its a Dark night for the soul----! (And I must stay, behind--!). Its a Dark night for the soul----. (The line we all must cross!) Its a Dark night for the soul----! All love---, is marked by--, loss---. [Outro]: I hope to see you out there, Dancing in the merry flames. Once the world has grown tired, Of laughing at your pain. There's been many dark nights without you, And there'll be many more! Oh, by happy chance, I'll find you!, Out, among, the stars once more! Its a Dark night for the soul----! (Dark night for the), Its a Dark night for the soul----! (Dark night for the), Its Dark night for the soul----. (Dark night for the), Its a Dark night, for the soul----! Its a, (Dark night for the soul----). Its a, (Dark night for the soul----!). Its a, (Dark night for the soul----.). Its a Dark night, for... the... soul----! [End]:
