Here in This Falling Darkness

. . . I need your touch

I need to feel the night tonight with you
Feel the night inside of you

In your ebony eyes, black as the sky
the stars are dancing
In the still of a room, by a sliver of moon
we surrender to this love.
Silent as moving shadows
I pull you in
So I can . . .

Feel the night tonight with you
Feel the night inside of you
Feel the night tonight with you

Here in the fallin’ darkness, I need your touch

Can’t stop makin’ love with you till dawn
We’ll go on and on
So good to hear you sigh
Ooh, yes, holding you tight
So I can . . .

Feel the night tonight with you
Feel the night inside of you
Feel the night tonight with you

– “Feel the Night”

Heavy Weather Sunligth Again)
