Night Swirls In

Open up the latches
 Slide the window high
 The night swirls in
 You surrender and you sigh
 It's kissing your forehead
 Caressing your hands
 Whispering suggestions
 But making no demands
 Draw back the curtains
 Blow the candle out
 The night swirls in
 And makes your senses shout
 Hear the starlit music
 Taste the drunken air
 Breathe in the promise
 Of something waiting for you there
 Nighttime in your bloodstream
 Nighttime without end
 Over and over and over and over
 And over and over and over and over again
 Nighttime every season
 Nighttime now as then
 Over and over and over and over
 And over and over and over and over again
 So open up that window
 Feel the temperature rise
 The night swirls in
 And plays tricks with your eyes
 You see things that are long gone
 But always around
 Things you've only noticed
 After the sun's gone down
