In the Night

I wrote this song in 1987.  I use to write songs and the pieces of note paper would run away and find little corners of rooms, and piles of papers to hid in.  And soon I would forget about them.  A favorite hiding spot was in my brothers studio.  Occasionally someone looking for a song to do would scoop one up and make a song out of it.  This is what happened with this song, it had been done a couple of times before but never quite found it's way onto an album. 

Scott was looking for a song to do to break in his new studio software.  He didnt' want to waste one of his great songs on a learning curve so went in search of a "crappy" song to destroy.  He found this and decided to remake it.  I'm very glad he did.  He made a beautiful arrangement, and did quite well for his inaugural project.  The only flaw was the vocals.  Yes that's me singing, and everything else is Scott.  He did a great job.  Check it out.

In the Night

Sometimes it seems,
I'm barely alive.
I've gotten lost
hanging on this ride.

I stare up through
the neon lights,
I can't see the stars
shining down through the night,
shining down through the night.

Time was always
on my side,
I could do,
whatever i tried.

someday I'll jump
off this ride
and look for you
somewhere in the night,
I'll come look for you
somewhere in the night.



If I had you here
would it be the same
If I had you here
could I ever see the night.

We use to walk alone in the dark
all night, but we'd never get far.
I promised all you dreams would come true
and I'd come back to you,
somewhere in the night,
I still reach for you,
somewhere in the night.

If I had you here,
could it be the same,
If I had you here
could I ever see the night,

Somewhere in the night.
