It was the night, it was the night before   It was the night before we met, I sat alone   Right by the phone, it was the night      It was the day, it was the day you came   It was the day you came my way, what can I say?   You came to stay, it was the day      There's a storm, outside my window   Flashes in the sky, what a night   I hear the voices calling   And I see the people running in the light      All this craziness I'm feeling just reminds me   That it really can't go on   And I want so much to tell you   But the number you have given me is wrong      It was the night, it was the night before   It was the night before we met, I sat alone   Right by the phone, it was the night      It was the time, it was the time we had   It was the time we had to live, our time to give   To be happy with, it was the time      I'm sitting in my room with the silhouetted moon in my eye   I stare into the darkness, and I see the planets hanging in the sky   And this temporary feeling is just telling me I've seen it all before   But the penetrating madness of the nightly news, I really can't ignore      It was the night, we were drawn to the light   We were climbing higher   It was the day when we all came to say   We were on fire, it was the night      There are lovers on the roof   They are waiting for the proof they can see   There's an answer on its way   It was due back here today to be free      And I thought that I should tell you   That you're just another image of my mind   But you need to keep it secret   'Cos these days secrets are so hard to find      It was the night, it was the night before   It was the night before we met, I sat alone   Right by the phone, it was the night   It was the day, it was the day you came      It was the day you came my way, what can I say?   You came to stay, it was the day   It was the time, it was the night
