THEME FROM MIDNIGHT EXPRESS

As the night is leaving -
silently retreating down an empty hall
Suddenly a stirring -
finally recurring where I let it fall
Following the wanderings of a dream -
a dream that keeps my soul alive
Believing in an open sky - believing in a love.

Dancing with a stranger -
careless of the danger there within his smile
While the dew was forming -
breathing in the morning like a sleeping child.

If the memory of the light should fade -
horizons reaching cold and blue
Until your heart is free to fly -
then I will keep the sun for you.
Until you touch the open sky -
then I will keep the sun for you
Until we never say goodby -
then I will keep the sun for you.
