The Night's Too Strong
(words & music by Markus Rill)
 
 
Ed can really shine on this one. Just a song that I'd written on the side that kept coming back to me. I could never get rid of it, there's just something about the melody and the chords that I like. We wanted it to sound real loose with that beat and Julian Fischer's prominently featured harmony vocal.
Some choices look good in the pale moonlight
Like the promise of a little love on the sly
And you know how it is with me
The night's too strong and I'm too weak

Well, the night's too strong and I'm too weak
There's things I've done and secrets I must keep
The night's too strong and it tastes so sweet
Oh Lord, have mercy on me

You know I can't resist temptation
Moonlight impairs my judgment and it stirs my imagination
Guess it must be plain to see
The night's too strong and this old boy's too weak

Well, the night's too strong and I'm too weak
There's things I've done and secrets I must keep
The night's too strong and it tastes so sweet
Oh Lord, have mercy on me

I couldn't change it if I tried
I go down with a seeing eye

Well, the night's too strong and I'm too weak
There's things I've done and secrets I must keep
The night's too strong and it tastes so sweet
Oh Lord, have mercy
Oh Lord, show a little mercy
Now Lord, have mercy on me
