Suzanne Vega - Night Vision Lyrics

Suzanne Vega Lyrics

"Night Vision"

By day give thanks
By night beware
Half the world in sweetness
The other in fear

When the darkness takes you
With her hand across your face
Don't give in too quickly
Find the thing she's erased

Find the line
Find the shape through the grain
Find the outline
And things will tell you their name

The table, the guitar
The empty glass
All will blend together
When the daylight has passed

Find the line
Find the shape through the grain
Find the outline
And things will you their name

Now I watch you falling into sleep
Watch your fist uncurl against the sheet
Watch your lips fall open and your eyes dim
In blind faith

I would shelter you
And keep you in light
But I can only teach you
Night vision
Night vision
Night vision
