Tracy: guitar, vocals

Nancy: piano

Dave: backing vocals

I think I'll take a walk tonight

Three days from full, should be some light

Got a thought or two to bring,

Figure out some things

See what I can find in this fog of my mind

 

And you're off with me, into the night

Into my time, into moonlight

 

Look around, the dark is mine

Ample peace, quiet sound

You feel my triumph

For none but me dim light is shone

 

And I wonder too, how can so much

Be left for so few

Who love the space, the pall, the haze

Who love the respite from the days

Who know themselves as lost but safe

 

For no one cares or sees their drift

From thought to thought, from cliff to cliff

Who is this who wanders there

And never doubts that she should dare

 

And yes she does it all the time

And no one knows that this is mine

And mine is there,

As yours is rare

 

With need of only one to share

The calm of night, and silent care
