Nights Like These - Michael McDermott

Silence fell like healing, as I turned to shout

«Won't somebody up there please help me out?»

There’s a dead end street around every corner I take

And the daylight displays my greatest mistakes

Hallucinations, body and soul

Each night I feel a little more less in control

She spoke of Whitman and the turnin' of the leaves

Lovers were made for nights like these

I’ve been waiting on the wonder, I dream does exist

They smile as I’m goin' under and claim I’ll be missed

One step away from paradise one step away from pain

The seeds of despair bloom into weeds of shame

I’ve seen a fallen rainbow in white and black

I can feel that restless shadow stickin' knives in my back

But there’s penance and passion, patience and peace

Lovers were made for nights like these

Now the cool majestic evening invites me to burn

I’ve been waitin' for tomorrow but tonight it’s my turn

Intoxicated by the banter that the bluebird sings

By the visions of forgiveness when those church bells ring

I’ve seen the face of evil, sometimes it looks like mine

I’ve confronted all my weaknesses, down on my knees

Lovers were made of nights like these

Dreamin' was made for nights like these

Salvation was made for nights like these

Forgiveness was made for nights like these

Lovers were made for nights like these
