Remember that night...
              
White sails in the moonlight
              
They walked it too...
                           
Through empty playground, this ghost's town
          
Children again
                         
on rusting swings getting higher
	   
Sharing a dream
                  
On an Island.... it felt right


              
We lay side by side,
                     
Between the moon and the tide
                     
Mapping the stars for a while

                 
Let the night surround you
                
Half way to the stars
	 
Ebb and flow
	
Let it go
	              
Feel her warmth beside you


             
Remember that night,
                   
The warmth and the laughter
             
Candles burn...
                       
Though the church was deserted
             
At dawn we went down
                             
through empty streets to the harbour
             
Dreamers may leave ...
                      
but we're here everafter...


        
Naa na na na
          
Na na na na na
           
Na na na na na na


                 
Let the night surround you
                
Half way to the stars
	 
Ebb and flow
	
Let it go
	              
Feel her warmth beside you
