Long After Lights Out Lyrics

did you say all the things you meant to say
silence has a way of arriving unannounced
if you could have said but one more little line
that you thought was timely
but you couldn't find the time
time may find you, speak your mind
and your heart that's the most important part

at the end of the daylight hours
when you slip into the nighttime powers
don't you leave things to long after
long after lights out did you do all the things you wanted to
sleep comes much too quickly
to the ones who do not move
if you could have done
just one more little thing
that you thought was important but you waited in the wings --
wings are made for taking flight (rock steady in the kingdom of night)

powers of the night
in a blue nocturne
gather in mists
and await your return
