"And Can It Be" lyrics

"And Can It Be"

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 (and can it ever be)
I would know
Experience
The casualty of your love
All I can ever see (all I can ever see)
Is the need
Climb out of here
Find the way to some quiet place
Where you are

La la la la la...

This night is so dark
This night has silence and very little fear
Tell me this welcome peace
Isn't dancing with the ghost of future tears
'Cause it makes me wonder

And can it ever be (and can it ever be)
I would know
Experience
The casualty of your love
All I can ever see (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? (and can it ever be)
And can it ever
Be?
(And can it ever be?)

I'd say no
I'd say no
No no no

I'd say no
I'd say no
Please please please no

I'd say no no no
Please no, no

And can it ever be
(And can it ever)
And can it ever be
(And can it ever)

And can it ever da da
(And can it ever be)
