Cross the Night Songtext
von P.F. Sloan

The coast ship was sailin′ across the night
I'd seen it from her window in the pale moonlight
So I sent my prayers to bed
I sent my dreams ahead
And to my lover I said
We′d feel better in the mornin'

She is waitin' for reason why
She is waitin′ across the night
When I′m with Mary
I talk about you
And how hard some relationships are
To let go of or work through

Ooh, we're in a strange situation but in good faith
I can′t let it break her heart 'cause that would be a waste
Of the love we shared and the time we spent together
But he is wonderin′ how to say goodbye
And she is waitin' across the night
Somewhere across the night


Whoa, whoa
High above the telephone wires
I fly like a bird in flight
To your love, to your light, to your light, to your love
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I have to get across tonight

Whoa, whoa
Help me get across tonight
I fly like a bird in flight
To your light, to your love, to your love, to your light
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Help me get across tonight

It was the tail of the comet
Steven Spielberg presents
A fuzzy Q-tip hangin′ in the sky
More like some picture than a real event

Ooh, the song in my heart is forever yours
'Cause you filled me up with gratitude
And whether it be win or lose
You always give me somethin' I can use
You lift me up out of my solitude
And embraced me with your truth


She is waitin′ no reason why
She is waitin′ across the night
Somewhere across the night
Oh, whoa
High above the telephone wires
I fly like a bird in flight
To your love, to your light, to your light, it's alright
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I have to get across tonight

Whoa, whoa
Help me get across tonight
I′ll fly like a bird in flight
To your light, to your love, it's alright, it′s alright
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Have to get across tonight
