The day comes down in dust
The rusty rays of the sun
You're like a feather in the evening rush
You're lonely, but you're not the only one

Sanctuary elusive
Desires becoming hard to please
You search out corners where the lonely sleep
You close your eyes -- something touches your sleeve

It's coming now -- tender is the night
The moon winks and throws you down a star
The day dissolves and now you feel alright
Tender is the night

You want him now -- you want his kiss upon your face
Here in this dark place called night
He is a flame : a light to quide you on your way
He comes out of day into night
