Janis Ian - Here Comes the Night lyrics

Touch in the tenderest night
Before the feelings take flight
Touch and you make everything new
Everything bright, shiny and true

Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night

Here in the heart, I still breathe
Longing, a part of me I can't see
And if the heart cannot redeem
One soul apart, one separate dream
Before the dawn and light
Here comes the night

Here we are waiting
(Waiting) and longing (Longing)
Crying out "I am more than just a man"
Building castles in the sand
All of us needing and leaving
Long before the break of day
So little time to say
Well I am I know the way
And I wanna be somebody who can see forever
Wanna be somebody who can see forever

Here in the heart, I still dream
Here in the heart of life I seem
Somebody light
(Wanna be) , somebody new (Somebody)
Somebody bright
(Who can see) , shiny and true (Forever)
(Somebody light) Wanna be
(Somebody new) somebody
(Somebody bright) Who can see
(Shiny and true) forever
(Somebody light) Wanna be
(Somebody new) somebody
(Somebody bright) Who can see
(Shiny and true) forever
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night
