Patty Griffin - Night lyrics

Night you'll come and cover me Cold coffee spills all over me It's only hours until the day You make it look so far away Night you come and sing the songs Of birds that have no eyes Of birds that never fly Of birds that tell me lies And the night and I go hand to hand Breast to breast Woman to woman Night and I go quietly We go softly Screaming all the way Night is watching from a tower Turns on the electric fence A night can make you disappear Without a trace of evidence Night sounds like a judgement And nobody speaks on your behalf And you hear yourself calling out loud And you hear the night laughing back And the night and I go hand to hand Breast to breast Woman to Woman The night and I go quietly We go softly Screaming all the way Night you know how I forgot It's only hours until the day So hard to remember that It's hard to see a night that way
