Night Flight

On this dark and velvet night
So calm, so quiet
We drift in peace toward the light
No harm, no fight
If I should look and find the key
And fall in love with you and you with me
We won't need a reason why
On our night flight
Over long and endless days
We ride, we gaze
Into the sleet and driving rain
We turn in vain
If you had seen what I have seen
You'd know not much can ever be redeemed
We'll learn to live beside the light
On our night flight
A widow weeps, a child is born
We greet the dawn
I'll strew across the desert plain
An army slain
When every reason is not clear
Rise up with open eyes above fear
Lost in heartache, union's plight
On our night flight
