Remember  that night...
 White steps  in the moonlight
 They walked it too...
 Through empty playground,  this ghost's town
 Children again  on rusting swings  getting higher
 Sharing a dream
 On an Island....  it felt right
 We lay  side by side,
 Between the moon  and the tide
Mapping  the stars  for a while
Let  the night  surround  you
We're  half way to  the stars,
Ebb  and flow
Let  it go, feel  her warmth  beside  you
 <solo 1="">
 Remember  that night,
 The  warmth and the  laughter
 Candles  burn...
 Though  the church  was  deserted
 At  dawn we went down through  empty streets  to the  harbour
 Dreamers  may leave, but  theye're  here  everafter...
 Da  da  da da  da....
 Let  the night  surround  you
 We're  half way to  the stars,
 Ebb  and flow
 Let  it go,  feel  her warmth  beside you
