It Was The Night

Graeham Goble
December 14th, 1984

It was the night, it was the night before
It was the night before we met, I sat alone, right by the phone, it was the night.
It was the day, it was the day you came
It was the day you came my way, what can I say? You came to stay, it was the day

There's a storm outside my window, flashes in the sky, what a night
I hear the voices calling and I see the people running to the light
All this craziness I'm feeling just reminds me that it really can't go on
And I want so much to call you, but the number that you've given me is wrong

It was the night, it was the night before
It was the night before we met, I sat alone, right by the phone, it was the night
It was the time, it was the time we had
It was the time we had to live, our time to give, to be happy with, it was the time

Well I'm sitting in my room with the silhouetted moon in my eye
I stare into the darkness and I see the planets hanging in the sky
And this temporary feeling is just telling me I've seen it all before
But the penetrating madness of the nightly news, I really can't ignore

It was the night, it was the night before
It was the night before we met, I sat alone, right by the phone, it was the night

It was the night, we were drawn to the light, we were climbing higher
It was the day when we all had our say, we were on fire
It was the night

There are lovers on the roof, they are waiting for the proof they can see
There's an answer on it's way, it was due back here today, to be free
And I thought that I should tell you that you're just another image from my mind
But you need to keep it secret, cos these days secrets are so hard to find

It was the night, it was the night before
It was the night before we met, I sat alone, right by the phone, it was the night
It was the day, it was the day you came
It was the day you came my way, what can I say? You came to stay, it was the day
It was the time
It was the night
It was the night
