Lyrics - Through The Night

She came to me with sadness and a pocket full of hope
Dancing, green she always seemed and pleasant then
Laughter sprang eternal in those reckless days of youth
Glossing over truth to suit the needs of men

As the days grew longer and the seasons were exchanged
Swapping veils of virgin white for tears of rain
Stronger ran the river, that's the story of our lives
Cut the land like knives began to feel the pain
  Woman I love, oh, enfold me in your arms
Through the night, through the night
I have learned to face the world, she has shown the way
Nothing I can say will ever touch the flames
Burning like the fire, that's the story of our lives
Growing ever wise we learn to hold the pain
  Woman I love, oh, enfold me in your arms
Through the night, through the night
Woman I love, oh, embrace me with your charms
Through the night, through the night

- solo -

  Woman I love, oh
Woman I love, oh, through the night, through the night
Woman I love, oh, through the night, through the night
