And Can It Be Lyrics - Singles - 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, 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 has silence 

And very little fear 

Tell me this welcome peace 

Isn't dancing with the ghost 

Of future tears 

(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 

See how the road melts 

Hear how the flowers fall 

Feel how the smoke rolls 

In front of my eyes 

See how the trees bend 

Hear how the heavens hush 

Feel how the earth fades 

In front of my eyes 

And can it ever be 

And can it ever be 

And can it ever be 

No 

Please no
