The Night Is Ours

Heather Galloway This song is sultry and smokey, it opens up so nicely near the end point and pulls you out into outer space. It feels so familiar yet so fresh and new. Perfectly seasoned song, can’t wait to hear what Matt Hopper does next. Favorite track: The Night Is Ours.

lyrics

It’s hard to find this place in the dark
Bring your light to a quiet park
Lay down underneath the stars
The night is young, the night is ours

This grave is marked with a cross
A little sign to prove your loss
Maybe he’s up there in heaven
You lost him when you were seven

Passing through time to a new day
Pushing through rhyme for a new way

She never wanted for him to leave
Now she’s looking at an effigy
But our love will never die
Late at night you can hear her crying

Sometimes she feels so alone
He’ll never get to see his daughter grown
She leaves a prayer and 7 stones
May peace be with your weary bones

Passing through time to a new day
Pushing through rhyme for a new way

I can feel your spirit moving over me
No one really knows when death is planned
We can make a new life in the morning
Reincarnate this man
Reincarnate this man …ohhhhhhh
