Bic Runga Night Will Close Us Down
From the New Zealand movie "Channelling Baby"
If gravity let us go
We would all go flying
And I'll meet you somewhere in the milky night
Away past the satellites
The breeze is dressed so lightly
And it breathes onto this fire escape
Where all our secrets melt like ice
Leaving only water
Night will close us down
And change the view
And I'll promise you what I can
I forget myself when I'm with you
Please remind me who I am
Dancing like a landslide
Swinging round the living room
We fall like sudden rain from sullen skies
Singing to the radio's tune
Say my name aloud
And make it new
And I'll promise you what I can
I forget myself when I'm with you
Please remind me who I am
Day so soon, hear all the traffic move
The sirens all fill this room till we both have to shout
From the road, watching the stars explode
You and I breathe so slow
