Night you'll come and cover me
|
Cold coffee spills all over me
|
It's only hours until the day
|
You make it look so far away
|
Night you come and sing the songs
|
Of birds that have no eyes
|
Of birds that never fly
|
Of birds that tell me lies
|
And the night and I go hand to hand
|
Breast to breast
|
Woman to woman
|
Night and I go quietly
|
We go softly
|
Screaming all the way
|
Night is watching from a tower
|
Turns on the electric fence
|
A night can make you disappear
|
Without a trace of evidence
|
Night sounds like a judgement
|
And nobody speaks on your behalf
|
And you hear yourself calling out loud
|
And you hear the night laughing back
|
And the night and I go hand to hand
|
Breast to breast
|
Woman to Woman
|
The night and I go quietly
|
We go softly
|
Screaming all the way
|
Night you know how I forgot
|
It's only hours until the day
|
So hard to remember that
|
It's hard to see a night that way
|
