Well we rifle through the night
Like riders on the run now, in the street--
Holding back the blinding light
'Cause a thousand eyes can be so indiscreet
And we hide away, love the night away
And we run between the shadows and the light

*We're children of the night
Runnin' from the light
Children of the night
Of the night, oh yeah.*

In the day we pass like strangers
'Cause we fear the consequences of our love
And we realize the danger
Still we choose to take our chances on our love
And we hide away, love the night away
And we run between the shadows and the light

( * Repeat)

There's a fine line, such a fine line, a very fine--line
Between the day and the nighttime
The wrong and the right time, for makin' sweet love
Find a place to hide, anyplace to hide, hidin' in the -- darkness
Feels like the right time, for love in the nighttime
For makin' sweet love
