And Can It Be Over the Rhine

This night is so big
This night has stars falling into my hands
And if I listen real close
I can hear some distant train crossing
(it makes me wonder)

Cast your shadow
Cast your shadow across my heart
Investigate me
I hope i’ve been yours right from the start
(it makes me wonder)

And can it ever be
I would know
Experience
The casualty of your love
All I can ever see
Is the need
Climb out of here
Find the way to some quiet place
Where you are

This night is so dark
This night has silence and very little fear
Tell me this welcome peace
Isn’t dancing with the ghost of future tears
(it makes me wonder)
