Night Song lyrics
It's 2 o'clock this morning
Every sane person is asleep I wonder where you are tonight And down whose hallways do you creep I know you, you're out somewhere You know you shouldn't be Anyhow, wherever you are, I know you're not thinking of me. So it's goodnight Maybe I'll see you in the morning Soldier of the night You try to combat the new day dawning Do you fear the light? Or do you fear the emptiness in your yawning? So you search for life by night Hidden from sight Safe within the night Lost in your crazy flight And looking for the fight That may prove you are someone But you can't stop the rising sun. When the sun comes up, the world can see your face You slink along the sidewalk, outnumbered and out of place All your boldness is gone, you stand there tongue-tied and shy And then it's goodnight You put on your criminal disguise Make sure your mask is tight Safe now from all accusing eyes You let loose in delight Attacking night walkers by surprise Protected by the night You feel you have the right To destroy all in your way With the anger built by day Now you have learned to kill And you do it just for spite The twisted rules of night Have caught you in it's game Nobody knows your name But the day will come And you'll have no place to run Because you can't stop the rising sun. (january 8, 1975)
