Текст песни Night is At Hand - Akerman

Lady sun
Gathers her radiant skirts up and sets to depart
While the slowly creeping fingers of dark
Start covering the land
Night is at hand

The sun's long shadows reaching out
And leading to the door
Another day has come and gone
Just like the day before

Tomorrow brings another yet
In one endless array
The drone of morrow comes before
The last one fades away

But till then - Night
Music to my soul
Resigning all control
I'm ready for the fall

Upstairs little Becky lies
And she is wide awake
That noise she'd heard a second time
It was no mistake

Who Is it there? What is it there
A-hiding neath the bed
A ghoul or a ghost
Or something from that book she read?

Don't make a sound and cover up
Real tight under the sheets
Just close your eyes and try
To picture something nice and sweet

And think of night
Demons, ghouls and more
They're clawing at your door
Bigger than before

And somewhere on the edge of town
Young Trevor's in a bind
Across the smoke filled bar
His eyes fall back on her behind
So many girls of every kind
And yet so little time
A cleavage passes by -
Then he returns to her behind

All the feeling's gone
Another day is done
Questioning who's won

Now people think and plan ahead
But I remember grandma said
A man thinks and God laughs
You can joke or play an ass
Still everything will come to pass
You can't change it. Not by half
Now be-ye safe
And good night
