Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation

Darkness wakes and stirs imagination

Silently the senses abandon their defences

helpless to resist the notes I write

for I compose the music of the night


Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour

Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender

feeling is believeing

music is decieving

hard as lightning, soft as candlelight

dare you trust the music of the night


close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth

and the truth isn't what you want to see

in the dark it is easy to pretend

that the truth is what it ought to be


and listen to the music of the night


Softly, deftly,

music shall carress you

hear it, feel it, secretly posess you

Open up your mind,

let your fantasies unwind,

in this darkness which you know

you cannot fight -

the darkness of the music

of the night


close your eyes, start a journey

through a strange, new world!

Leave all thoughts

of the world you knew before

close your eyes, let the music set you free

only then can you belong to me


Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!

Touch me, trust me,

savour each sensation!

Let the dream begin,

let your darker side give in

to the power of the music that I write -

the power of the music of the night...


You alone can make my song take flight -

help me make the music of the night
