The Night Brings

The moon is a sharp wound over the valley
Bleeding jet trails across the sky
The beauty of the night tries to seduce me
But I've got California on my mind

    Mostly I just think about
    Distant hearts and distant minds
    Bodies fused and spirits free
    Inside you and all around me

        When I'm missing you
        The night brings a different kind of truth
        When I'm missing you
        The night brings a different kind of truth

Darkness falls around me like veils
A Dancer shedding layers in the night
Revealing perfect form from the details
But I've got Boston on my mind

    Mostly I just think about
    Distant hearts and distant minds
    Bodies fused and spirits free
    Inside you and all around me

        When I'm missing you
        The night brings a different kind of truth
        When I'm missing you
        The night brings a different kind of truth

    And mostly I just think about
    Distant hearts and distant minds
    Bodies fused and spirits free
    Inside you and all around me

        When I'm missing you
        The night brings a different kind of truth
        When I'm missing you
        The night brings a different kind of truth
