Alibi - Christopher Cross

It’s a calm wind blowing on my skin

And I’ve been dreaming again

Now that we’re all here

We can share these notes and all this madness

We can talk of innocence

And of all the things we believe in

Is it an alibi

Is it the reason why

Is it the way we really feel inside

Set it free

The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light

That helps me see the path ahead of me

I can feel that something

A hint of mystery

A trace of dare

To live the truth I hide somewhere

Daybreak

In a place I’ve known before

Will I find me behind that final door

I can hear the footsteps of the past

I can feel the thunder and it’s coming fast

I’m gonna spend some time with the moon

Pour myself a glass of midnight

Keep myself in tune

Is it an alibi

Is it the tears I cry

Is it the way I see it through your eyes

The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light

That helps me see the path ahead of me

I can feel that something

A hint of mystery

A trace of dare

To live the truth I hide somewhere
