Lyrics

There's a girl I know
but she don't know me (she don't know me)

There's a girl I love
but she don't love me (she don't love me)

I write her songs
and I write her poems
send her seashells in the mail

She's my hearts crusade
my holy grail
my land beyond the sea

(Chorus): Sometimes when the night gets long
I find your all that I think about
I know that i've seen your face
and I know I must have dreamed you

She's the morning star
the mourning star
the wind that fills my sails

The gardens keeper
of all my secrets
wraps me like a serpents tale

Like the song of songs
and the psalm of psalms
the calm before the storm

love the silence weeping
a child's first born
I just turned my back and she's gone

(Chorus): Sometimes when the night gets long...

...I could have loved you
I would have loved you
like Aeneas
...I couldn't hurt you
I wouldn't desert you
like Aeneas
deserted you
