Nightbird (2016 Remaster)

[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 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]

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

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

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]

Through the dark and the net of the lace

Pulls back the net and it's hard to see her face

And you feel the touch

It's the touch that you want so much

'Cause when I call, you can walk gently through my shadow

Just like the white winged dove
