I only go up at night   When the moon is full   And the evening breezes blow   I go only high enough   To see the ground below      I only go up at night   That's when no one else can see me   Being foolish   And wishing for one more chance   To do it all again      I was so much younger then   And blinded by the beauty of the sun   It looked so lovely   I just had to touch it once   Then tumbling down into the sea   Now I know   Now I know         He taught me how to fly   And like any son   I wanted to make good my first impression   Words from the wise   Are wasted on the foolish and the young      Now I only go up at night   The illusion is complete   No one knows of my survival   The twilight hours   Are mine, and mine alone      I was so much younger then   And blinded by the beauty of the sun   It looked so lovely   I just had to touch it once   Then tumbling down into the sea   Now I know   Now I know            I was so much younger then   And blinded by the beauty of the sun   It looked so lovely   I just had to touch it once   Then tumbling down into the sea   Now I know
