Night Comes In Lyrics
Night comes in, like some cool river
How can there be, be another day?
Take my hand, oh real companion
And we'll dance, dance till we fade away
Oh, the songs pour down like silver
They can only, only break my heart
Drink the wine, the wine of lovers
Lovers tired of being apart
Dancing till my feet don't touch the ground
I lose my mind in dance forever
Lose my mind in dance forever
Turn my world around
Turn my world around
Oh, this night is like no other
And this room is ringing in my ears
And these friends will never leave me
And these tears are like no other tears
Dancing till my feet don't touch the ground
I lose my mind in dance forever
Lose my mind in dance forever
Turn my world around
Turn my world around
How can there be, be another day?
Take my hand, oh real companion
And we'll dance, dance till we fade away
They can only, only break my heart
Drink the wine, the wine of lovers
Lovers tired of being apart
I lose my mind in dance forever
Lose my mind in dance forever
Turn my world around
Turn my world around
And this room is ringing in my ears
And these friends will never leave me
And these tears are like no other tears
I lose my mind in dance forever
Lose my mind in dance forever
Turn my world around
Turn my world around

In the lyrics above, the final verse does not appear. I feel as if these stanzas change the meaning of absolutely every word sung before them:
Well. I may find That street tomorrow Leave the shadow Of my lonely room
See my one My one and only Heart and soul I'm coming soon
[I wasn't allowed to post this, previously. So I posted only my addition to the lyrics. I'll try again, to find out whether it's a message-length limit, or some other reason I'm getting the error: "We had some trouble submitting your comment. Please try again."
Here goes:
Shortly before beginning work on this album, Richard had become a Sufi. For those not familiar: Sufism is a mystical tradition within Islam.
[to be continued?]
This song indeed probably is associated with his Sufi interest of the time. At some he even joint a Sufi communian for a while, it's said. The dance probably is the wirling Sufi dance, and his new friends are found in his new faith, altough i agree with the other comment the additional lyrics give some of it a twist:
Well. I may find That street tomorrow Leave the shadow Of my lonely room
See my one My one and only Heart and soul I'm coming soon
This assumes his lust for real companionship is only a vision, ideal, dream or experience in his mind, not something aquired in reality yet...
