Night And my nerve endings Coded messages they're sending Twitch and tingle Blink and twinkle Restless as the million stars I've counted Overhead tonight Spinning My head and stomach All gravity and magnets Each contrary, rotating planets Pulling sleep away With every hour making minutes Am I outside my life or in it And all this music That's making waves within it Can I find one song to sing it? All the words I've strung like beads All the words that stung like bees to bring it A little fruit, a hue or two, a sign of something
Or someone that I knew And this life feels like so many different lives I'm falling through Night Dizzy night I can't recognise the cycle of the years The source of all my fear The source that led me here Your boys' cologne, your beer The presence of our fathers ever near Sacred secrets you whisper in my ear All this tonight As you move closer to me Your light will eclipse and will absorb The darkness that confounds my foolish all Place harmony where there has been discord
