In the Heart of the Night

Walking amongst the shadows
In the heart of the night
A fall rain, in summer heat
Caresses thoughts of bygone times

In the heart of the night
It’s a full moon, shining upon my face
I walk into the mists of rain
I become a mask, so you see not the pain

I whisper to anyone close
This is the last chance to dance
In the heart of the night
If you were here, hug me tight

The dawn is approaching
And a life time of waiting
City streets wet with rain
In the heart of the night

In the south, of Belles so nice
I am reminded of you
In the heart of the night
New Orleans is full of light

I have waited so long
For love to knock me down
Changing seasons bring me the blues
In the cool fall rains

I dream of you
In the heart of the night

Inspired by a Canadian band, feel free to guess!!!
