Songtexte Acquainted with the Night - Blue Rose Code

I have been one acquainted with the night
I walked out in rain and back in rain
And outwalked the furthest city light

I looked down the saddest city lane
I passed by the watchman on his beat
And I dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain

And I stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away a cry
Came over houses from another street

Not to call me back or say good-bye
And further still at an unearthly height
A luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right
I have been one acquainted with the night

I have been one acquainted with the night
I walked out in rain and back in rain
And outwalked the furthest city light

I have been one acquainted with the night
