Cloudless Nights: By Rachel Rane 2006

A cloudless night descend and the stars take the stage
An illuminating act for this audience of two
A comet shreds through the sky, I'm distracted by your face
Cuz' baby, your eyes are so blue

Our nerves are high, we're not accustomed to this play
All this building fear makes me want to hide
We can't let insecurities get in our way
So baby, let me inside

I didn't know what I was looking for
Till you walked through my back door

Love, it's always been on my mind
And love, please come in the nick of time
Love, save me from this childish grave
Set this woman free from her cage
With your hand, I know I can stand

Nostalgia's thick, it's scent sweeps though my hair
I remember a night like this, not beautiful nor tame
The clouded curtains closed, the winds were so unfair
Cuz' baby, I was bound in chains (so I prayed)

"God, I can't find my way, this darkness has been so cruel
I've tasted of this earth and drank it's poisoned bliss
I wanna believe that you can love this tattered girl
So rain down, and heal my callousness!"

I didn't know what I was looking for
Till you walked through my back door

Love, it's always been on my mind
And Love, you came in the nick of time
Love saved me from this foolish grave
And set this sinner free from her cage
With your hand, I know I can stand

Baby, time is all we have
The veracity of our affections is a must
It's time to trust
Your plans, my plans, our plans-
Disparate dreams can be attained
If we let God reign

Love should always be on our minds
And love will come in the nick of time
Love will save us from our timorous ways
And set us free from self-inflicted cages
And with His hand, I know we will stand

I didn't know what I was looking for
Till you walked through my back door
