The night, the night is shimmering and bright
All the leaves on the trees are like diamonds in disguise
No pride, no fright. We can be ourselves tonight
And I'll convince you I'm on your side
'Cause we're lost in the wilderness of love's slow decline
Are you listening to me cry?
My flame, my flame, I don't want to cause you pain
You know when it's my fault I will surely wear the blame
But this mind of mine is burning all the time
If I'm cruel to you it's not by design
We're only at the start of understanding our lives
And who knows when we'll arrive?
Think of everyone you know who passes judgment on love and thinks they've grown
I think we're better off to leave our hearts alone
