Two bodies lie, alight
In the deep of the night.
A heart beats faster
“It’s okay,” she is told
A sight of relief
Rhythms align
Momentary peace
In the deep of the night.

Beyond the veil of darkness
Something takes hold
But don’t despair, baby
It’s okay to lay awake, still
I’ll hold you in my arms
In the deep of the night.

When the evening is young
And the world is away
I’ll be there by your side
A pulse, a presence
A quiet form of reverence
In the deep of the night.
