Nightbird

And the summer became the fall

I was not ready for the winter

It makes no difference at all

'Cause I wear boots all summer long

My eye make up is dark and it's careless

Some circles around my eyes

Sometimes the real color of my skin

Is my eyes without any shadow

And when I call

Will you walk gently

Through my shadow

The ones who sing at night

The ones who sing at night

The ones you dream of

The ones who walk away

Capes pulled around them tight

Cryin' for the night

Cry for the night bird tonight

And so the winter is really here now

And the blankets that I love

I am surrounded sometimes

By too much love

And when I call

Will you walk gently

Through my shadow

The ones who sing at night

The ones who sing at night

The ones you dream of

The ones who walk away

Capes pulled around them tight

Cryin' for the night

Cry for the night bird tonight

And the darkened eyes

Through the net of the lace

In the darkness

It's hard to see her face

Pulls back the net

And you feel the touch

Of her fingers

And you see she turns the eyes

And you see the eyes of a night bird

The ones you dream of

Finally the night bird

Finally the night bird

Tonight
