Dreams We Conceive

In a city after midnight
 'Neath the halo of a 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 believe that the dreams we conceived
 Would ever, not ever come true
 Is life different after midnight
 With its new dawn and its new lights?
 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 believe 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?
