And Can It Be lyrics
by Over the Rhine
This night is so big
This night has stars falling into my hands
And if I listen real close
I can hear some distant train crossing, crossing
It makes me wonder
Cast your shadow
Cast your shadow across my heart
Investigate me
I hope I’ve been yours right from the start
It makes me wonder
And can it ever be (and can it ever be)
I would know
Experience
The casualty of your love
All I can ever see (all I can ever see)
Is the need
Climb out of here
Find the way to some quiet place
Where you are
La la la la la
This night is so dark
This night has silence and very little fear
Tell me this welcome peace
Isn’t dancing with the ghost of future tears
'Cause it makes me wonder
And can it ever be (and can it ever be)
I would know
Experience
The casualty of your love
All I can ever see (all I can ever see)
Is the need
Climb out of here
Find the way to some quiet place
Where you are
See how the road melts
Hear how the flowers fall
Feel how the smoke rolls
In front of my eyes
See how the trees bend
Hear how the heavens hush
Feel how the earth fades
In front of my eyes
And can it ever be? (and can it ever be)
And can it ever be? (and can it ever be)
And can it ever
Be?
(and can it ever be?)
I'd say no
I'd say no
No no no
I'd say no
I'd say no
Please please please no
I'd say no no no
Please no, no
And can it ever be
(and can it ever)
And can it ever be
(and can it ever)
And can it ever da da
(and can it ever be)
