At Night
Oliver Lyrics

It's dark in the office everyone's gone
The absence of people in the office creates a somber atmosphere.

The wind on the glass sings a lonely song
The sound of the wind against the window evokes a sense of loneliness.

And he sits and he thinks of his life and where he belongs
In contemplation, he ponders about his purpose and place in life.

Another time and another place
Reflecting on a different period and location.

And the ghost of a smile moves across his face
A faint smile briefly appears as he reminisces.

As he thinks of the things he would do if he only knew how
Imagining the possibilities if he possessed the knowledge and ability.

Soon he's down there in the street
He finds himself walking in the street.

And he's walking on silver feet
Moving with a lightness and gracefulness in his steps.

Into the night under a river of stars
Venturing into the dark night illuminated by a multitude of stars.

Into the night I wonder where you are
Curiosity arises about the whereabouts of someone.

When all of the voices stop asking you why
In a moment of silence, no one questions his motivations.

And nothing can hold you but the earth and the sky
Feeling free and unrestricted, bound only by the natural world.

The barman smiles as he rings the bell
The bartender wears a satisfied expression while serving customers.

The survivors tell him to go to hell
Despite their struggles, some individuals express their disdain towards the bartender.

All the tables are covered with empties it's time to go home
The empty glasses on the tables indicate the end of the night and the need to leave.

The lights come up and the gear breaks down
As the lights brighten, the equipment starts to malfunction.

And they load up the truck for another town
Preparing to transport their belongings to the next destination.

The manager smiles as the envelope changes hands
The manager shows satisfaction while receiving payment or important documents.

The sleeping town remains
The town remains inactive and tranquil during the night.

As the headlights pull away
Moving forward as the car's headlights disengage from the surroundings.

Somewhere out there a light is burning
A flickering light exists in a distant place.

You'd better hold on 'cause the world's still turning
Despite challenges, it is important to persevere as the world continues to evolve.

The sun is down in the moon is high
With the sunset, the presence of the moon becomes prominent in the night sky.

Looking all alone in a neon sky
Feeling isolated amidst the vibrant brightness of the city lights.

The sound of the traffic plays counterpoint in your brain
The noise from passing vehicles serves as a contrasting element within one's thoughts.

The last thing she told you still rings true
The final words she spoke to him continue to hold meaning and significance.

But you know there's some things that you just can't do
Acknowledging certain limitations and accepting that some things are beyond one's control.

Will you follow this river all the way down to the sea
Contemplating whether to pursue a path until its final destination.

Your friends all think you're strange but you'll probably never change
Despite being viewed as peculiar by friends, it is unlikely that he will undergo significant transformation.

Into the night under a river of stars
Continuing the journey through the dark night, surrounded by a vast number of shining stars.

Into the night I wonder where you are
Remaining curious about the unknown location of someone.

When all of the voices stop asking you why
Experiencing a silence in which no one inquires about one's motivations.

And then nothing can hold you but the earth and the sky
Feeling liberated and bound only by the natural elements of the earth and the sky.

Into the night
Continuing the journey through the darkness.
