I don't know no prophecy
I don't know no heresy
I don't know anything at all but you
I can't tell no right from wrong
I'm neither wise nor strong
But I know your secret - therefore I am
Ooh, the night is long and I'll be sailing
Sailing home to your heart
Never be apart
Ooh, the night is warm and we'll be cooling
Cooling the wounds of our fight
And everything's all right
I don't believe in the government
Or in anything heaven sent
The traps lurking everywhere
Are paralysed by you
I don't trust the things I see
I don't trust hypocrisy
There's nothing but your sweetest
That I rely on
Ooh, the night is long and we'll be dancing close - skin to skin
Knowing we will win
Ooh, the night is dark and we'll be shining
Shining like stars in the sky
Sparkling so high - again
And so we're safe
Embracing all the world
There's a war outside
Here's a place to hide
And we're each other's key
And so we're safe
Opposing time
There's a peaceful isle
In a stormy sea
And we agree
There's nothing else at all
I don't care if the market relaxes
I don't care for the income taxes
Diamonds are a feeble gleam
Compared to your eyes
Perhaps future runs fast
Perhaps they learn from the past
The only time I understand
Is the presence of your soul
Ooh, the night is long and we'll be charming
Charming away all the pain
And the stupid, and the rain
Ooh, the night the deep and we'll be flying
Flying on waves in the air
A life to share
