Night, you come and cover me
Cold coffee spills all over me
It's only hours till 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
The night and I go quietly
We go softly
Or screaming all the way
Night is watching from the tower
Turns on the electric fence
The night can make you disappear
Without a trace of evidence
Night is like judgement
Where nobody speaks on your behalf
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
Or screaming all the way
Night, you know how I forget
It's only hours till the day
It's so hard to remember that
It's hard to see the night that way
