I Talk To The Night
|
(J. Lyon/M. Noble)
|
|
The sidewalk heaves a sigh of relief
|
As the heat of the day finally fades
|
The cracked asphalt bleeds rainbow beads
|
That dance in the late evening haze
|
|
And I turn from my whiskey and I peer out the door
|
Here comes a boy that I've been waiting for
|
Deep, dark and silent, the one I adore
|
I talk to the night
|
I talk to the night
|
Hell, maybe I'm crazy, or maybe I'm just tight
|
Whoa, yea, I talk to the night
|
|
Stand stretchin' stare in the deep sea gloom
|
As the sharp edges melt away
|
One big world, one little moon
|
And the curtains shimmy and sway
|
|
I reach for my glass and I hear the floor boards squeak
|
I crawl into my bed and I hear my old bones creak
|
Then in silence I wait for the darkness to speak
|
And I talk to the night
|
Oh, I talk to the night, yes I do
|
She never argues, no we never fight
|
I talk to the night
|
Oh, I talk to the night
|
Speak to me darlin'
|
|
Into my head, the sharp words you said
|
Stab like a lost child's cry
|
I'm a loser at best, yea, and all the rest
|
To which, of course, there is no reply
|
No reply
|
|
I pulled down the shade and I turned off the light
|
Blackness for me, but it holds no fright
|
I dance with the darkness and my demons take flight
|
And I talk to the night
|
Oh, I talk to the night
|
You know, my tongue gets tied in that bright daylight
|
I talk to the night
|
I speak with the darkness
|
And I talk to the night
|
I speak with the darkness
|
And I talk to the night
|
I speak with the darkness
|
