How do you honour the night?
With all of its mystery,
With all of its spaciousness,
With all of its brilliance.
How do you honour the night?
with all of its passion plays,
with all of its time,
With all of its innocence,
And shadowy lines.
When there’s no center,
You can go forever.
Into the unknown,
Into the dream,
Into the undefined,
and brilliant unseens.
If you can give me an endless night,
And a day full of fog,
I’ll bend down in praise for you
Because I just want to roam.
It’s painful to see,
Identify clear,
I don’t want to know about,
Things lurking near.
I’m near it for the spirit,
And not for the form,
For the feelings of life,
Not for the norm.
I’m near it for the spirit,
For the feelings of life.
So please turn your light off,
And give me the night.
