The Things We See at Night

from Stepping Stones by Ian Doherty

/

lyrics

The things we see at night—
Are they even real?
A raindrop in the streetlamp’s light
The hint of rusted steel
The things we speak of in the dark
Can’t see the light of day
Escape can only get us so far
But it’s worth the price we pay

We spoke in quiet tones
Beneath the shroud of night
Of pain within our souls
And the battles we must fight
I listened to your words
With a fence around my heart
’Cause I’ve walked this path
So many times before
Found no answers in the dark

You looked into my eyes, and I saw
Understanding there
The feeling of my heart within your hands was
Too much for me to bear
But while this night’s still holding on
I’ll hold you close as well
A secret scene within the dark
One the night can never tell

The things we see at night
Don’t last beyond the dawn
They vanish with the morning light
Just a memory will live on
