How Deep is the Night

[couchgrouch]

How Deep is the NightSome rivers run so deep,the secrets that they keepstay hidden for all timesome hills reach so high, in the midnight skythat stars don't seem to shineand being with you now,seems to feel somehowwe're somewhere we don't belongthough we're out of sight, how deep is the nightcan it hide us till dawn I recall where we first kissed,how the darkness and mistcovered us from curious eyesand I still think of, when we first made lovehow my heart believed the liesnow I hate when I'm with you,the first thing I have to dois make sure the drapes are drawnwhat's wrong feels so right, but how deep is the nightcan it hide us till dawnand sometimes I wonder if one dayyou'll end up treating me the same waysince we've slept together I can't sleepI doubt your love and the night are that deepI guess I'll always be scared,you'll find a new man somewhereand tell him our love is goneyou'll ask by starlight, how deep is the nightcan it hide us till dawn(c)2004 Robert George
