The Music Of The Night [Workshop Version] lyrics

PHANTOM

Nighttime sharpens, heightons each sensation

Darkness multiples imagination

Slowly all the senses, abandon their defenses

Helpless to resist the notes I write

For I compose the music of the night

Close your eyes, for your eyes will only tell the truth

And the truth isn't what you want to see

In the dark, it is easy to pretend

That the truth, is what is ought to be

Daytime, release it, filling us completely

Birdsong, small talk, endless words of greeting

As the night is nearing, the touch, the taste, and hearing

Gradually replace redundant sight

Preparing for the music of the night

Close your eyes, let the touch of it abuse the soul

Let its ember cresendo into flame

Can you tell, is it pleasure, is it pain

From now on, you'll never be the same

Don't reject, my music though you fear it

Let me show you, only stay and hear it

Measure after measure, an instrument of pleasure

A treasure-house of passion and delight

Come join me in the music of the night

On my own, my soul cannot be right

Help me make the music of the night
