The Night That Sees My Pain [Trijan Refrain]

Perhaps, tonight I'll see the moon
Against the darkened sky
The orb may dance a wistful swoon
To tease and tantalize
A whisper breeze within the air
Lifts up my heart from love's despair
A whisper breeze
A whisper breeze
Come tend me with your loving care.

I see the stars, they shine so bright
Inside the blue cocoon
That wraps them with a gentle light
Against the glowing moon
Oh gentle stars do you not see
The pain that tears inside of me
Oh gentle stars
Oh gentle stars
Come stay my soul with sanity.

From depths too deep I try to rise
On dreams I try to hold
The tears that fall from saddened eyes
Have left me aged and cold
One night of love I try to find
But time has left my heart behind
One night of love
One night of love
Is but a thought inside my mind.
