Shadow blinds your eyesight

A gloomy cloak of darkness

Tell yourself it’s all right

Step outside into the night

Twilight conceals the sky’s address

-

Blink at the velvet night sky

See the points of starlight

Hear the trees around you sigh

All plans before have gone awry

Take the chance with every step

Don’t turn back tonight.

-

Feel the breeze caress your skin

Silent voices chill your ear

Shadows whisper soft and thin

Go farther and the night begins

To ask you out, invite you in

And overcome your fear.
