AWAKEN NIGHT
(Music and Lyrics: Charles Dalla)

Laying alone and in my heart the fright

Counting the hours before the morning light
But it's in vain, the only friend I got is pain

My soul is hidden in the shadows of my name

One minute over, I feel much older now

Rescue me faster, before the light of dawn
And blow away, blow out the ghost that made me stay

Blow out the dust that's hidden in me for all these years

And at night when the whispers are louder

And the silence is all but a still

Inner sirens are topping my dawning
I wish I was dreaming this awaken night

My eyes wide open, I'm on the ship of fools

I'll share the colors of my devoted blues
'Cause through the night, I'm an eternal black and white
Watching the silent nighttime rainbow passing by

And at night when the whispers are louder

And the silence is all but a still

Inner sirens are topping my dawning
I wish I was dreaming this awaken night

Solo: Dalla

Dusk and denial blend in a lullaby

Taste the regrets lurking behind a sigh

So dim's the light
So cold is the morning bound to thrive

When to the stillness drowning me I resign

Throughout the night

'Cause through the night, I'm an eternal black and white
Watching the silent nighttime rainbow passing by

And at night when the whispers are louder

And the silence is all but a still

Inner sirens are topping my dawning
I wish I was dreaming this awaken night
