I'll cry tonight, night is the enemy   Poisons the memory, martyrs it secretly   Midnight comes too fast, it comes too silently   The moon has no mercy now to live anymore      One day the rains will come   And wash away the tears   Sunlight will fade the years   Midnight comes too fast   And I don't want the night to last      Shadows on the glass, faces in window panes   Old lace and picture frames rattle their ancient chains   Midnight will surprise moonlight at the door   The night has a thousand eyes   And I don't know why to live any more      They told me how you loved me   When I finally got the bravery   To look beyond these prison walls   And shadows hanging over me      I cannot find a way to be   A lover for your life, although   They tell me it comes easily   I somehow cannot let the seasons pass   Without demanding that they last      And though I know forever well   I also know my private hell   Silent voices in the night   They are crying sacrifice      One day the rains will come   And wash away the years   Sunlight will fade the tears   Midnight comes too fast   And I don't want the night to last
