Color of the Night

The color of the night
Promises of the day stay in sight
Oceans of the moon
Now the promises are broken
I've awaken too soon
To see the possibilities stolen
Away, away from me
To the heart of the sea
I follow the light
Just a little more and I'll see you set right
Beside me just as if it were meant to be
Oh if only this was meant for me
Oh if only

If it all returns in time
Well maybe this was always meant to be mine
And there may be a new way to shine
Hearts full of passion drunk on the wine
Oh if only I could see you and me set right
Oh if only I could see the color of the night
Ooh if only

Dreams of the seer
Visions reflected in a salty tear
Deserts of the soul
May the visions be realized
But I've yet to be whole
Still there's a clarity in your eyes
That inspires in me
Boundless creativity
Gotta follow the light
Just a little further and I'll take to flight
Hand in hand with you as it's meant to be
Oh if you could see what it means to me
Ooh if only

When it all returns to me
Well then I'll know this was truly my destiny
And there'll be a new way to sing
Heart full and I'll sing so passionately
Oh I knew you could see us set right
Oh you knew I the color of the night
Ooh and it's only...

A painting so pretty
A vision so right
Ooh it's the only
Color that love in its impossible light
Was meant to be for you and me
Tonight
