Night

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
