The Night Defeats the Heart Lyrics

The road that leads to you
Is a secret one
As the mad lover yearns
For the break of dawn
The night defeats the heart
A heart that beats is fighting
Hungry from the start
For that crimson land

If you are not home
Why the lights tonight
The window shows
Everyone knows
A lover by his rags
Skin and bone and broken
Great words left unspoken

The night defeats the heart
A heart that beats is fighting
Hungry from the start
For that crimson land
If you are not home
Why the lights tonight
The window shows
Everyone knows...
His sighs and tears
That no one hears
Wild waters wild waters
When this grey sky clears
And he disappears
Wild waters wild waters
