Lyric

The night breeze brushes my cheek

Things I couldn’t say… even now

Crosswalk lights flicker on and off

Footsteps pass by, no one notices

A smile reflected at the bar counter

Just a little, it looked like who I used to be

Jokes I couldn’t dodge

Melt away with the ice

My habit of forcing a laugh

Still hasn’t left me

Nightwind Rhetoric Night, behind the words

The feelings I locked away start to stir

Left behind in that night

Lines I couldn’t say

Whisper back through the glass

A window seat, someone’s perfume

Like the end credits of a film I’ve never seen

Cold fingertips sink into the night

Only midnight stands as my ally

Kindness sometimes

Hurts more than a clever lie

But just one more time

I want to face someone tonight

Nightwind Rhetoric Night, the night isn’t over yet

Something glimmers at the bottom of the glass

Unspoken wishes

Left behind, unable to escape

Only the night breeze knew

Nightwind Rhetoric Night, even in the passing neon

The truth must have been mixed in

Drinking without realizing

Even someone’s kindness

Maybe now I could finally see

The noise drifts far away

The glass grows still

In the reflection of someone’s eyes

Tears that aren’t excuses

Are carried away by the night breeze

Nightwind Rhetoric Night, more than forgotten feelings

Voices I don’t want to forget

Even if they don’t reach straight to me

Even if it’s a long detour

I just want to touch this night
