Here Comes the Night - Janis Ian

Touch in the tenderest night

Before the feelings take flight

Touch and you make everything new

Everything bright, shiny and true

Before the dawn and the light

Here comes the night

Here in the heart, I still breathe

Longing, a part of me I can’t see

And if the heart cannot redeem

One soul apart, one separate dream

Before the dawn and light

Here comes the night

Here we are waiting and longing

Crying out «I am more than just a man»

Building castles in the sand

All of us needing and leaving

Long before the break of day

So little time to say

I am — I know the way

And I want to be somebody

Who can see forever

Want to be somebody

Who can see forever

Here in the heart, I still dream

Here in the heart of life I seem

Somebody light, somebody new

Somebody bright, shiny and true

Somebody light, somebody new

Somebody bright, shiny and true

I want to be somebody

Who can see forever

Before the dawn and the light

Here comes the night

Before the dawn and the light

Here comes the night
