king of the night my song is rising to you the sound of the birds and children's gentle breathing sing, hallelujah sing, glory to you king of the night king of the night the night you were betrayed by a love gone wrong i know you heard the angels sing hallelujah sing, glory to you king of the night hey, father of love there's a hole in my world there's a hole in my world can only be filled by you hey, giver of life there's a hunger inside there's a hunger inside can only be filled by you king of the night i've been running from you and i am afraid but i choose to trust your ways hallelujah sing, glory to you king of the night

waking up in late afternoon you can't seem to shake it off coffee black, cigarette working out is not enough to erase all your thought and to convince you all of this is not your fault you will find the beast in you beasts of the air, beasts of the field coming out to see the sun we forgot the message of love the beauty and the beast in you beast of the woods, beast of the seas learning how to live as one we forgot the message of love the beauty and the beast in you just go out, lay on the lawn this is a breakthrough it is nicer than you thought and you've got a mind to go and take yourself a walk somewhere you've never been to try yourself to get lost you will find the beast in you

what do you want to be when you grow up, babe did you get stuck, babe living in a fantasy all these times, they've been changing rearranging living with a broken heart you've got to change your mind you've got to draw the line girl, you know the dark is not your only friend what did you think of me when i was younger did i make you hunger - always coming back for more now this house is sitting empty - you really hurt me baby, if you want to know staying away from you is all i can do for you i'd rather lie to you than to lose you now i can't lose you now what becomes of love when it is over is it just over - falling like a shooting star or does it hang on forever - gently hovers entering your dreams at night

hope is in your hand and it's pulling me out of the sandspit oh son, oh man come two by two colored pink and blue oh girl, my world but i wrote you a love song and i changed it to the third person and i hummed it under my breath as i made love to you but the lights turned out and the colors fled to a safer place to another bed so call me quietly down to you this evening try to understand i am not a jealous man but you are light babe, you are air only he can restore me according to his mercy oh son, oh man when i came to you - you were sleeping and when my train arrived - you were leaving we can break this ice and calm the seas of treason and i wish that i was a simple man with a father's heart and a lover's hand so call me quietly down to you this evening and baby if you want to be my love you're gonna have to learn how to trust and i know it isn't really all that tough it just seems to be I'm calling out your name in the storm you're laying in your bed safe and warm i never had a cause to do you harm it's just some lightning
