I'm standing at the door Crying let me in I see her dancing there in all her wonder How her body moves with eternal youth And her footsteps hammer on like rolling thunder While I'm stuck here in the shadows Fueling the dream Another face just flashing in the night The smoke it folds around me Like unenchanted wings As I listen to the nightbirds singing in their flight Oh, close this great divide Between my heart and mind Once shе held me in my anguish Pulled mе from my pain And sheltered me from life's mysteries Somewhere beyond the darkness Lies incredible light At least that's what she once made me believe So go dive in empty spaces Where magic weaves and spins Go find her there, it's where she set me free Now I'm pulling chains from every corner of her memory Go find her there and bring her back to me Oh, close this great divide Between my heart and mind Just listen to the nightbirds Listen to the nightbirds Listen to the nightbirds Listen to the nightbirds Well, if I could turn my back now And lay back down with you I'd pull you in and finally get some sleep Listening to the nightbirds Without wondering how They hold her in their song so casually
