Over The Rhine - And Can It Be lyrics

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

I would know

Experience

The casualty

Of your love

All I can ever see

Is the need

Climb out of here

Find the way to some

Quiet place

Where you are

This night is so dark

This has silence

And very little fear

Tell me this welcome peace

Isn't dancing with the ghost

Of future tears

(It makes me wonder)

And can it ever be

I would know

Experience

The casualty

Of your love

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

No

Please no
