Ren Lawton - Love By Night

She's a thing of beauty
I'm from the average side of town
Her confidence it threw me
Both fair and brave but only 18

I said what are you doing
Talking to me this way
Your parents think that I'm no good
And I'd only break your heart
She said I don't believe them
I think that this could work
So we'll share our love in secret
To save them from the hurt

That's why we only love by night
Only bashful moonbeams can witness what we do
No sunlight will cast a shadow that falls in to our view
We avoid the day and what it says about how we ought to live
We're free from expectations and all we have to give
Is our love, our love
We only love by night

Her father's at the old bar
Her mother's in the kitchen making stew
So we stole a moment to ourselves
It was 5 o'clock on a sunny afternoon

But her father came home early
He was kicked out of the bar
And her mother heard a thumping
It wasn't from a far
They burst straight through that door
And chased me from that room
They said if I see you back around here
We'll bury you in the dirt

That's why we only love by night
Only bashful moonbeams can witness what we do
No sunlight will cast a shadow that falls in to our view
We avoid the day and what it says about how we ought to live
We're free from expectations and all we have to give
Is our love, our love, our love, our love
We only love by night

It's been 10 years to the day
Since I was kicked out of that room
But we've kept our romance going
We've found a way to work
We live in the North of Norway
For 6 months a year at least
And when the sun it rises
Antarctica it is

We still only love by night
Only bashful moonbeams can witness what we do
No sunlight will cast a shadow that falls in to our view
We avoid the day and what it says about how we ought to live
We're free from expectations and all we have to give
Is our love, our love, our love, love, love, love
Our love
We only love by night
