Until Tonight

I look ahead the horizon meets my gaze and reads my mind My eyes are set, I won't show that I'm afraid of what my dreams will find I prepare for the heavens to retreat, for me to lose myself again And I'll be there to taste the bittersweet as the witching hour descends Until tonight there was a shadow at the closet door And my secrets were scattered on the bedroom floor And a stranger lay beside me but I didn't know what for When the moon takes the place of the sun and I pray my soul to keep me From a room better left forgotten in the slumbering deep Until tonight there was a shadow at the closet door And my secrets were scattered on the bedroom floor And a stranger lay beside me but I didn't know what for Now the darkness has left me to explore Eight hours out of twenty four Until tonight, I never felt you like this before Until tonight, I wasn't even sure That I'm safe in the arms of a man holding me through the night As I face the demons and the damned who kept me from the light Until tonight
