Electric Light Orchestra - Thousand Eyes lyrics

Chorus

The night has a thousand eyes

and they're all on you

The night has a thousand ears

Listening to your cries

Let it work its magic

Let it work its magic

The night has a thousand eyes

Verse 1

You, you had to slip away

After all that spark

You, said all that you could say

And slipped into the dark

I could not let you go

Alone into the night

I had to let you know

The magic there, in the night air

Chorus

The night has a thousand eyes

and they're all on you

The night has a thousand ears

Listening to your cries

Let it work its magic

Let it work its magic

the night has a thousand eyes

Verse 2

You, somewhere out in the dark

Runs a wounded heart

You, stumbling in the night

In the air of after light

You take along the fears

Did you waste these years,

And did they warn you

of the night zone all alone

Sometimes it takes a fight

To keep everything on track,

And sometimes it takes a starry night

To bring the magic back

This was the time

And this was the place

with starlight on your face

And the moon on the rise,

The night has a thousand eyes
