It's the time of night
When the wolf sits alone
And howls to the moon
It's the time of night
When a man walks alone
And ponders his doom
It's the time for looking around
To see who's waiting for you
You need a lover
I need a trip
We need each other
Before we slip
Into another dawn
Into another morning
Just like today
And the day before
In fact I don't know
What I'm looking for
Right now
It's the time of night
When you look to see
Who's head is on your pillow
It's the time of night
When you should be high
But you are really low
It's the time for looking forward
To see where you can go
You need a lover
I need a trip
We need each other
Before we slip
Into another dawn
Into another morning
Just like today
And the day before
In fact I don't know
What I'm looking for
Right now
It's the time of night
When a man says to you
"When did you die?"
It's the time of night
When the smile on her face
Makes you cry
It's the time for looking back
And to wonder, "Why?"
You need a lover
I need a trip
We need each other
Before we slip
Into another dawn
Into another morning
Just like today
And the day before
In fact I don't know
What I'm looking for
Right now
