Oh, the moon, it rises up
And, oh, the sun it shuffled off
I came to meet you
I came because I need you

And oh, this lonely vagabond
That moved into your silent song
The valleys and lagoons and grooves
That made up every part of you

Rest your head
And rest your heart
And slide
Close the doors
And close your eyes
And we'll fly into the night, like a light

And, oh, the dark is passing on
To move us slow into the dawn
And silently we shake the dunes
That make up every part of you

You and I were born to fly
Into the sweet, into the night
And far into the days that grow
Their silence and their afterglow

Hold my hands
And close your eyes
And, love, slide
Lock the doors
And rest your heart
And we'll fly into the night

Hold your hands against the sun
And let it warm one by one
The places and the things we'll see
The waning of our time so sweet
You and I were born to fly
Into the sweet, into the night
