Night

Night, you come and cover me
Cold coffee spills all over me
It's only hours to the day
You make it look so far away
Night, you come and sing the songs of birds that have no eyes
Birds that tell me lies
Birds that never fly
Night and I go hand-in-hand, breast to breast, woman to woman
Night and I go quietly, we go softly, screaming all the way
Night is watching from the tower, turns on the electric fence
Night will make you disappear without a trace of evidence
Night sounds like a judgment
Nobody speaks on your behalf
You hear yourself calling out
You hear the night come laughing back
Night and I go hand-in-hand, breast to breast, woman to woman
Night and I go quietly, we go softly, screaming all the way
Night, you know how I forget
It's only hours to the day
So hard to remember that
It's hard to sleep tangled this way
