Shelter of the Night

Verse One

I’m so tired, but cannot sleep.
What keeps me up is more and more surreal.
I question everything I am, all I ever had.
Try to calm down but I’m slowly going mad.

Verse Two

The night is dark but not for me.
Only now I really start to see.
How trapped I feel. How desperate I am.
So tell me What can I do?

Chorus

I’m running away
In the shelter of the night.
It feels so good because no one can see me cry.
And all the tears will be wiped away by the morning sun.
And only I know what I’ve done.

Verse Three

I have no plan. I’m running fast.
Breathing hard.
This night could be the last.
I question everything I am, all I ever had.
So tell me What can I do?

Chorus

I’m running away
In the shelter of the night.
It feels so good because no one can see me cry.
And all the tears will be wiped away by the morning sun.
And only I know what I’ve done.

Bridge

When all the unspoken dreams may come true.
And I know:
No one can see me cry.
The end is near I gotta go.
No one can see me cry!

Chorus

Verse Four

The first sunbeam on my skin.
Feels so warm.
No matter where I’ve been.
I question everything I am, all I ever had.
So tell me What can I do?
