Into the night of darkness
A shadow makes its path
Through the dampened city street
And all the human wrath

Familiar with the faces
Have seen them all each day
But the one she searches for
Hides somewhere far away

The face of her torment and joy
The eyes of deep maroon
They are the moon and stars tonight
This lovely night in June

No one sees her searching
And no one seems to care
Except the lonesome traveller
The shadow,it is there

The shadow knows the reason
A reason hard to tell
Why no one here can hear the cry
Of an Angel trapped in Hell

So out of the night of darkness
They both shall make their way
And save this meeting yet again
Until a later day
