Blue Night Lyrics
To the whole room, her eyes are numb
As she reads from a true love story.
From the pages of a book, her lover comes.
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.
Misty shape in the window by her bed,
Dreaming on what she's read.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?
[ Chorus ]
Only in the blue night, he comes to her
Only in the blue night.
That's when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.
I see a dark face by the moon's glow
As she reads from a true love story.
Beckoning hand scratching at the window.
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.
Misty path and the night is endless.
She could be a queen or a desert princess.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Only in the blue night,
Only in the blue night.
That's when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.
She wants to break free
From the cold light of reality.
And as she drifts away,
I hear her voice say, "come away."
Dark skin glistening by the silver light.
This is the hero come tonight.
And taking her hand, he leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?
[ Repeat Chorus ]
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.
Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.
Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.
Blue, blue night.
As she reads from a true love story.
From the pages of a book, her lover comes.
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.
Dreaming on what she's read.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?
Only in the blue night.
That's when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.
As she reads from a true love story.
Beckoning hand scratching at the window.
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.
She could be a queen or a desert princess.
Hero takes her hand and leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?
Only in the blue night.
That's when the whole night belongs to her,
Only in the blue night.
From the cold light of reality.
And as she drifts away,
I hear her voice say, "come away."
This is the hero come tonight.
And taking her hand, he leads her through.
Who knows what this night will do?
Only in the blue night.
Blue, blue night,
Only in the blue night.
Only in the blue night.
Blue, blue night.

It is a romantic song very much in the vein of 'Moonlight Shadow', but with a slightly less mystic feel and without the gloom and tragedy of the other song's words. It narrates the story of a girl who reads a love story and dreams of the lover scratching at her window at night, and he leads her through "(who knows what this night will do??)" It is a fairitale story with a very innocent feel, maybe inspired by a teenager's tale.
It has a similar structure as 'Moonlight Shadow', with Scottish Maggie Reilly on lead vocals again, and instead of the electric Fender guitar solo, it has a stunning acoustic one, with remarkable legato work on the left guitar fingers.
