-STORY ABOUT THE SONG-
At Night She Cries is about the loss of innocence. It’s about a happy little girl who gets older and loses the person she used to be, in the wrong decisions she makes. She may seem fine on the outside, but on the inside she is sad and alone, depressed about where her life has taken her. All the opportunity that once lay before her - vanished.
The last part of the song is about the joys of childhood. It’s about holding onto the roots of life, and keeping that alive within us.
I started At Night She Cries on January 20, 1999, my best friend’s birthday, and finished it on March 7, 2000, my mom’s birthday. It sounds like I worked a long time on it, but I really only spent two days in January and two days in March writing the song. When I originally finished writing in January, I wondered if I was done. But as time went on, I realized there was more to write. It’s amazing, but including keyboards, backgrounds, etc., the song took about 2 ½ years to complete. That doesn’t mean a lot of thought went into the song or we slacked or anything. It just means that along the way, we thought of new ideas. -Marc Morcos

lyrics
A childhood abandoned
A sweet girl has vanished
Where is Mother's child
Well I bet at night she cries
Yes I bet, at night, she cries
And does it make you sad
To think of what you had
Once at the beginning of life
And now at the beginning of the end
Yes you're now at the beginning
Of the end
Well wasn't it fun
Yes we had a blast
Children together
In friendship and good time
Moments of laughter
Sealed in memory
A piece of you, will always, live inside of me
And remember your friends
Love Mom and Dad
Don't let experience
Rob what you had
Rescue the child
Inside of you
