Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When all is dark and there's no light
Lost in the deepest star of night
I see you
[Verse 2]
Your hands are shakin', baby
You ain't been sleepin' lately
There's something out there
And it don't seem very friendly, does it?
[Verse 3]
If I could help you, I would help you
But it's difficult
There's something much more powerful
And those far-fetched possessin' me
[Verse 4]
I got to get to grips, ah
I don't want to feel like this, ah
Your voice keeps hauntin' me
I cannot eat or sleep
[Verse 5]
I'm goin' crazy
In this hazy fantasy
You put a spell on me
Oh, but I ain't goin' out alone
[Verse 6]
So take your hands off me, tonight I'm breakin' free
This is the night, this is the night
So take your hands off me, tonight I'm breakin' free
This is the night, this is the night
[Verse 7]
There was a time I would have walked
On burnin' coals for you
Sailed across the ocean blue
From the highest mountain just to call your name
[Verse 8]
The moon throws down its light
And cuts me to the quick tonight
It Changes in the air
Nothing will never be the same
[Verse 9]
You still look good to me
Oh, but you're no good for me
I close my eyes
And squeeze you from my consciousness
[Verse 10]
And in the morning when I wake
I walk the line, I walk it straight
But the mornings so many miles away
You've got now
[Verse 11]
So take your hands off me, tonight I'm breakin' free
This is the night, this is the night
So take your hands off me, tonight I'm breakin' free
This is the night, this is the night
[Verse 12]
This is the night (This is the night)
This is the night (This is the night)
This is the night (This is the night)
This is the night (This is the night)
This is the night (This is the night)
This is the night (This is the night)
This is the night (This is the night)
This is the night (This is the night, yeah)
[Verse 13]
This is the night
[Verse 14]
And this is the night, alright
[Verse 15]
This is the night
[Verse 16]
This is the night, oh
