Lyrics
WINGS OF THE NIGHT - King/Castle
V1 She slept in her room awakened at dawn
By the breath of the wind and the nightingale song
Walked to the sea with her candles flame
Heard the winds of Jamaica that called out her name
Chorus Midnight, comes a knock at the door
The lady you’re seeking lives here no more
She slipped away at the last ray of light
Carried away on the Wings of The Night
V2 Tales of the sea, her Father would tell,
Of pirates and sailors she remembers so well
In her dreams they battled but always survived
They fought for the gold she kept locked up inside
Chorus Midnight, comes a knock at the door
The lady you’re seeking lives here no more
She slipped away at the last ray of light
Carried away on the Wings of The Night
Bridge The sun is nearly setting, the moon is on the rise
Don’t you be forgetting the promise of the skies.
solo part
V3 She takes out of hiding her secret in gold
Her Father had given her so long ago
Then she unlocks her heart with her magical key
Now her ship is the moon and the heavens her sea.
Chorus Midnight, comes a knock at the door
The lady you’re seeking lives here no more
She slipped away at the last ray of light
Carried away on the Wings of The Night
