"Swept Up In The Night" lyrics

"Swept Up In The Night"

I was swept up in the night
Someone's arms who'd held me tight
Can't explain the dance or dream
What I felt was quite extreme

Traveled to the furthest place
Can't recall the perfect face
I need you so

Tried to take me, but I stopped
Before we reached the very top
Can't explain, I can't describe
Many colors burning bright

Wings of God before my eyes
I stare but never act surprised
I need you so

Somewhere in the mist
There's a place where we don't exist
Never find our way back home

In the deep of quiet nights
Never knowing what is right
Does my heart feel young and free?
Never dreamed that this could be

And I find you a thousand times
Underneath the stones in my mind
I need you so

Somewhere in the mist
There's a place where we don't exist
Never find our way back home

For if I fall
I could fly from the top of this great, great wall
Never find our way back home

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I was swept up in the night
Someone's arms who'd held me tight
Can't explain the dance or dream
What I felt was quite extreme

Traveled to the furthest place
Can't recall the perfect face
I need you so

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
