Lyrics
Twelve o'clock at night
Refers to midnight
Streets of many corners
Describes diverse and intersecting streets
The lunar river winds
Depicts a river shaped like the moon
Down the closes and the lanes
Refers to narrow alleys and pathways
The night skips the sleeping years
Symbolizes the passing of time
And reawakes the memory
Suggests revived memories
Takes me along the way
Guided through personal history
To the places of the heart
Alludes to meaningful and emotional places
The days of summer came
Recalls joyful moments in summer
Days of many heartache
Acknowledges times of emotional pain
Not to love is not to live
States the importance of love in living
Not to live is not to feel no pain
Emphasizes the connection between living and experiencing pain
So unlock this heart of stone
Requests to open up emotionally
Teach me the ways of mystery
Asks to be taught the secrets of life
In the places where they say
Refers to places with mystical qualities
Only the brave can walk alone
Highlights the courage needed to journey alone
You took me through this town
Describes a shared experience in the town
And you took me to the moment
Relives a significant moment in time
That makes angels lose their wings
Suggests a moment of profound impact
And makes poets lose their wonder
Notes the potential loss of inspiration in intense moments
But I have found in you
Expresses finding genuine and enduring love
A love line pure and lasting
Wishes for a lasting love connection
May your heart hold true
Hope for genuine emotions and commitment
And your nights run long
Wishes for enduring and meaningful nights
