And Can It Be

This night is so big
This night has stars falling into my hands
And if I listen real close
I can hear some distant train crossing
(it makes me wonder)

Cast your shadow
Cast your shadow across my heart
Investigate me
I hope i’ve been yours right from the start
(it makes me wonder)

And can it ever be
I would know
Experience
The casualty of your love
All I can ever see
Is the need
Climb out of here
Find the way to some quiet place
Where you are

This night is so dark
This night has silence and very little fear
Tell me this welcome peace
Isn’t dancing with the ghost of future tears
(it makes me wonder)

See how the road melts
Hear how the flowers fall
Feel how the smoke rolls
In front of my eyes

See how the trees bend
Hear how the heavens hush
Feel how the earth fades
In front of my eyes

And can it ever be?

No
Please no
