Explain The Night — Noa

Explain the night to me Explain the stars Explain the way I feel Explain the scars Explain the outline of the trees against the sky Explain the tangled words of love we can't untie

Explain the night to me Explain the black And how the light was lost And how to get it back Explain the rising of the waves to swallow sand Explain how difficult it is to hold your hand

We are wrapped around our needing In a drunken trance Will you swing and sway me slowly And pretend to dance We are wrapped around our sorrow In a strong embrace And between your temple and your eye I hide my face

Explain the night to me The pregnant moon Explain the sudden urge The empty room Explain the way to blue And all the space Explain the makeup swiftly streaked across my face

Explain the night to me Explain the past Explain the thrill of love And why it cannot last Explain the rings that slowly spread across the lake And how to someday learn to live with my mistakes

We are wrapped around our needing In a drunken trance Will you swing and sway me slowly And pretend to dance

We are wrapped around our sorrow In a strong embrace And between your temple and your eye I hide my face..
