And Can It Be lyrics
by Over The Rhine



This night is so bigThis night has stars fallingInto my handsAnd if I listen real closeI can hear some distant trainCrossing, crossing(It makes me wonder)Cast your shadowCast your shadowAcross my heartInvestigate meI hope I've been yoursRight from the start(It makes me wonder)And can it ever beI would knowExperienceThe casualtyOf your loveAll I can ever seeIs the needClimb out of hereFind the way to someQuiet placeWhere you areThis night is so darkThis has silenceAnd very little fearTell me this welcome peaceIsn't dancing with the ghostOf future tears(It makes me wonder)And can it ever beI would knowExperienceThe casualtyOf your loveAll I can ever seeIs the needClimb out of hereFind the way to someQuiet placeWhere you areSee how the road meltsHear how the flowers fallFeel how the smoke rollsIn front of my eyesSee how the trees bendHear how the heavens hushFeel how the earth fadesIn front of my eyesAnd can it ever beAnd can it ever beAnd can it ever beNoPlease no
