dark as night

e---------------g-e
The night is not dark.
f-----------------e-d-----c----e
City lights refract in the smog.
You can only see stars
if you hold your breath for too long.

You must close your eyes.
Shapes without ends are not real.
Night tells the truth:
Trust only what you can feel.

(b)e------(d-c)g---f
Take this night
              a
hold me down, down
deep, down, down, deep down.
whisper words
but don't make a sound, sound, deep down.
       f ------d----b
just hold me down, down
deep down.

This is dark's embrace:
Held tight for hours by the mist.
Why would you sleep?
Daylight has nothing on this.
