Nightbird

[Verse 1]

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 makeup, dark, and it's careless

Same circles around my eyes

Sometimes the real color of my skin

My eyes, without any shadow

[Chorus]

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

With their capes pulled around them tight

Crying for the night

Cry for the nightbird tonight

[Verse 2]

The winter's really here now

And the blankets that I love

Sometimes I am surrounded

By too much love

[Chorus]

And when I call, will you walk gently through my shadow?

It's the ones who sing at night

It's the ones who sing at night

The ones you dream of, the ones who walk away

With their capes pulled around them tight

Crying for the night

Cry for the nightbird tonight

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

And when I call, will you walk gently through my shadow?

It's the ones who sing at night

It's the ones who sing at night

The ones you dream of, the ones who walk away

With their capes pulled around them tight

Crying for the night

Cry for the nightbird tonight

And when I call, will you walk gently through my shadow?

It's the ones who sing at night

The ones who sing at night

[Outro]

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 when I call, you can walk gently through my shadow

It's the ones who sing at night

I'll see your face

You'll see
