Over the Rhine - And Can It Be lyrics

This night is so big This night has stars falling into my hands And if I listen real close I can hear some distant train crossing (it makes me wonder) Cast your shadow Cast your shadow across my heart Investigate me I hope i've been yours right from the start (it makes me wonder) And can it ever be I would know Experience The casualty of your love All I can ever see Is the need Climb out of here Find the way to some quiet place Where you are This night is so dark This night has silence and very little fear Tell me this welcome peace Isn't dancing with the ghost of future tears (it makes me wonder) See how the road melts Hear how the flowers fall Feel how the smoke rolls In front of my eyes See how the trees bend Hear how the heavens hush Feel how the earth fades In front of my eyes And can it ever be? No Please no
