"Night" lyrics

"Night"

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
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
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
