How the Nights Can Fly - Richie Havens

There was something of the eagle

In the way his voice could rise

And she thought she saw salvation

In the way he closed his eyes

How the nights can fly

And how the days can fill you

As the years go by

Memories that still you

They were only passing passengers

On two separate sets of scenes

There was something of the lifeline

In the distances between

How the nights can fly

And how the days can fill you

Years that move you on

The only things that thrill you

Sometimes our needs are most in danger

By the ones we need the most

And there is something of the stranger

In the closest of the close

He is kissing her forever

She is kissing him goodbye

How the nights can fly

As the chance goes by

How the years can kill you
