Let The Night Seize Me

I went out on the road at seventeen
When shadows fell I felt that I was finally seen
Night was the only one who took me in
And now I’m falling back into her arms again

No, I won’t be here tomorrow, I hear her call and I have to go
She delivers me from sorrow, one more mile down that unending road
Soon morning will be breaking, seize the day, the dawn will set you free
But I can’t spend another moment waiting, I’ll let the night seize me

I see the headlights dancing in the trees
I taste the scent of darkness on the jasmine breeze
Night never leaves me stranded on my own
In the solitude of her embrace I am not alone

No, I won’t be here tomorrow, I hear her call and I have to go
She delivers me from sorrow, one more mile down that unending road
Soon morning will be breaking, seize the day, the dawn will set you free
But I can’t spend another moment waiting, I’ll let the night seize me

I know a secret that is burned in rose
Night whispered to me that you might be one of those
