alibi
Words and music by Christopher Cross and Rob Meurer It's a calm wind blowing on my skin And I've been dreaming again Now that we're all here We can share these notes and all this madness We can talk of innocence And of all the things we believe in Is it an alibi Is it the reason why Is it the way we really feel inside Set it free The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light That helps me see the path ahead of me I can feel that something A hint of mystery A trace of dare To live the truth I hide somewhere Daybreak In a place I've known before Will I find me behind that final door I can hear the footsteps of the past I can feel the thunder and it's coming fast I'm gonna spend some time with the moon Pour myself a glass of midnight Keep myself in tune Is it an alibi Is it the tears I cry Is it the way I see it through your eyes The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light That helps me see the path ahead of me I can feel that something A hint of mystery A trace of dare To live the truth I hide somewhere
