The Darkness of the Night

Misty rain all around

Falls in vain to the ground

Calling my name without a sound

Into the darkness of the night

Heavier now it starts to fall

I wonder how it last at all

Louder now it starts to call me

Into the darkness of the night

It stops abruptly without a trace

The moon shining brightly on my face

The voices fade slowly into the space

Of the darkness of the night
