Lyrics Here Comes the Night - Janis Ian

Here Comes the Night

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 and 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
I am — I know the way
And I want to be somebody
Who can see forever
Want to be somebody
Who can see forever
Here in the heart, I still dream
Here in the heart of life I seem
Somebody light, somebody new
Somebody bright, shiny and true
Somebody light, somebody new
Somebody bright, shiny and true
I want to be somebody
Who can see forever
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night
Before the dawn and the light
Here comes the night
