both of us delighting in the comedy,
both of us enraptured by the beauty of the night.
CHORUS:

giving you the angel's touch.
With the heavens all around you gently take me there-,
both of us delighting in the privilege,
both of us enraptured by the beauty of the night.
CHORUS:

CODA:
The morning light and a crescent moon,
dangling on the edge of the sky- ...

SHE DIDN'T MIND
APOLOGY ACCEPTED
SOFT SIDE TO THE SUN
WE'RE NOT IN THIS 50/50
ACCEPT THE BEST IN ME
ANOTHER NAKED BREAKFAST
THAT IS 'TIL THERE WAS YOU
AND THERE SHE GOES (HOME AGAIN)
