The Night: Nights in White Satin / Late Lament

Nights in White Satin

[Verse 1]
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty, I'd always missed with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore

[Chorus]
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you

[Verse 2]
Gazing at people, some hand-in-hand
Just what I'm going through, they can't understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end

[Chorus]
And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

[Flute Solo]

[Verse 3]
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
Beauty, I'd always missed with these eyes before
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore

[Chorus]
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

[Chorus]
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you

[Instrumental Outro]

Late Lament

[Verse 1]
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent

[Verse 2]
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young

[Verse 3]
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
