LIKE A SHIP CUTS THE WAVES OF THE SEA
SOFT THE WIND BLOWS YOU HOMEWARD TO ME
YOU’RE THE STAR THAT MY EYES NEVER SEE
YOU’RE LIKE A STORM YOU COME RISE IN THE NIGHT
THEN YOU SLIP EVAPORATE FROM SIGHT
SINCE MY YOUTH I’VE BEEN POSSESSED BY THE SMILE
OF LOVELY LADIES BEING TORN BY THE GUILE
NEVER FINDING WHAT I LONG FOR INSIDE
YOU’RE LIKE THAT STORM YOU COME RISE IN THE NIGHT
THEN THE EVENING BRINGS YOU HOME THAT’S RIGHT HEY HEY THAT’S RIGHT
OH LORD…..
EACH NIGHT AROUND THE STROKE OF TWELVE
ARRIVES SLEEP’S ARDENT MESSENGER
HIS ROUNDS ARE SWIFT FOR SOME IT SEEMS
OH LORD BUT OTHERS LIKE ME THEY FAIL THE CALL
FOR THE FEW WHO MISS THE KNELL FROM THE FOG THEIR SPIRITS SWELL
OH THEY COME IN THE NIGHT THEY COME IN THE NIGHT
IT WAS ON SUCH A NIGHT AS THIS DIANA FILLED MY ORIEL
SURELY GOD’S FINEST HOUR WAS THERE WITHIN HER VELVET FACE
FROM THEN ON HER SWEET VISION CAME
HELPLESS HELPLESS I TO CHANGE A THING
OH SHE COMES IN THE NIGHT OH WHEN YOU’RE NOT LOOKIN YEA
IN HER VOICE A RHAPSODY AW IT GOES DANCIN’ DOWN MY SPINE
THEN HER GLOWING HANDS THEY ILLUMINE ME
SHE’S GOT ALL A WOMAN NEEDS THE WIND BLOWS THROUGH THE SEED
AND WITH THE WIND SHE’S GONE OH NO YOU KNOW I’M SLIPPIN’ AWAY
CRASH THE HAND OF EVE AW SHE TAKES ME DOWN
REACHIN’ UP TO HEIGHTS UNKNOWN BY MAN’S FRAIL HEART
I’VE REPELED THE WORLD FOR THE DREAM I’VE FOUND
PLUNGING THROUGH HER VEIL AND BECOME A PART
NOW THE SPIRITS THEY SWALLOW FREE DIANA SHE RUSHES DEEP INSIDE OF ME
SHE COMES IN THE NIGHT THAT GIRL SHE COMES IN THE NIGHT
WHEN YOU’RE NOT LOOKIN’ WHEN YOU NEVER SUSPECT A THING
WHEN YOU’RE JUST THERE SLEEPIN’
AW THROUGH THE MIND WE UNDERSTAND
YOU BETTER LET THE OLD ONES SHED THE LIGHT
AW THE PUREST LOVE IS NOW AT HAND IF YOU COME IN THE NIGHT
