Dreams We Conceive

In a city

After midnight

Neath the halo

Of street light

Where the dreams die

As the blood dries

On the wounds we keep hidden from view

In the safety

Of this darkness

As it hides all

Time has tarnished

The forbidden

Unforgiven

Are secure here where no-one pursues

But the night fades away

And gives way to the day

For what else is the night to do

As the dark steps aside

With the hopes we confide

And never believes

That the dreams we conceived

Would ever

Not ever come true

Is life different

After midnight

With its new dawn

And its new light

Inconsistent

And indifferent

To the things

We were so sure we knew

As you stood there

In the night air

With such beauty

That the stars stared

From their distance

You were different

Like a dream

That no-one could refuse

But the night fades away

And gives way to the day

For what else is

The night to do

As the dark steps aside

With the hopes we confide

And never believes

That the dreams we conceived

Would ever

Not ever come true

As you stand all

Alone at your station

What if god doesn't

Know where you are

As you send out your

Prayers for salvation

But afraid that

They don't go that far

So you wait all

Alone in your darkness

There's a train that drives on

Through the night

And if everyone's

On it except us

Would it return for

That single life

In a city

After midnight

Neath the halo

Of a street light
