I go out to walk at night
I've never been afraid
Of seeing ghosts of future lives
I never have betrayed
It's not like painting pictures
Of stories you have read
It's a lot like chasing horses
It's a lot like holding hands
It's a lot like recognition
For a face you had not planned
To appear
You go out to walk at night
In a place that's in your dreams
Burning candles guide your sight
A strength beneath the beams
It's not like you have wanted
For anything but love
It's a lot like glowing torches
It's a lot like stinging sands
It's a lot like premonitions
Of a holy distant land
To appear
Stand still for now
You can always tell a loved one
Who has never loved at all
And now a story's ended
I crawl
I can never walk at night
I always hear the sounds
Of little children laughing like
They've figured living out
