Achinoam Nini (Noa) - Explain the night (оригинал)

Explain the night to me
Explain the stars
Explain the way I feel
Explain the scars
Explain the outline of the trees against the sky
Explain the tangled words of love we can't untie

Explain the night to me
Explain the black
And how the light was lost
And how to get it back
Explain the rising of the waves to swallow sand
Explain how difficult it is to hold your hand

We are wrapped around our needing
In a drunken trance
Will you swing and sway me slowly
And pretend to dance
We are wrapped around our sorrow
In a strong embrace
And between your temple and your eye I hide my face

Explain the night to me
The pregnant moon
Explain the sudden urge
The empty room
Explain the way to blue
And all the space
Explain the makeup swiftly streaked across my face

Explain the night to me
Explain the past
Explain the thrill of love
And why it cannot last
Explain the rings that slowly spread across the lake
And how to someday learn to live with my mistakes
