On this dark and velvet night So calm so quiet We drift in peace toward the light No harm no fight If I should look and find the key Then fall in love with you and you with me We won't need a reason why On our night flight Over long and endless days We ride we gaze Into the sleet and driving rain We turn in vain If you had seen what I have seen You'd know not much can ever be redeemed We'll learn to live this idle life On our night flight A widow weeps a child is born We greet the dawn While strewn across the desert plain An army slain When every reason is not clear Rise up with open eyes above the fear Lost in heartache union's plight On our night flight
