As the Night Goes By Songtext
von Patti Smith

Darlin′, come undercover
Another night to discover
Let's slip where senses gather
Let′s drift between the sea and sky
As the night goes by

Sands shift
Orchids so strange in the moonlight
Brushing our faces
Places where love blooms and dies
While the night goes by

Oh, and the spirits call
Sun upon your shadows fall
Tracing every breath we draw

Come into my dreams
Come into my dreams
Darlin', let's go where the night goes
Let′s drift where senses gather
Let′s make this night last forever


Into my dreams
Into my dreams
Darlin', let′s go where the night goes
Time slips
Oh, darlin', how it flies
When the night goes by

All through the night
Sirens call
Come to me
I′ll come to you
As the night softly goes by, by

Midnight, moon on our shoulder
Daybreak, another one older
Darlin', heavenly blue
Glories fade into view

Let′s go under the stars
That are beating under the moonlight
Stars shoot, dusk just a whisper
Make this night last forever

Oh, how I wonder
Where the night goes
Oh, let's wonder
Where the night goes
As the night goes
By, by, by, by
