lyrics

There’s never been a way to change you
There’s never been a way to calm down
A hammer blow to rearrange you
I’m so tired I have to lie down

After the lights
Had flickered out
You told me everything you dreamed about
Alone with you
I know the night is mine

A starling’s child is resting easy
A cardinal is nestled in down
The tiger Lily’s feeling sleepy
But Iris isn’t making a sound

After the lights
Had flickered out
You told me everything you dreamed about
Alone with you
I know the night is mine

Everyday and side by side
A blinking eye is opened wide
There’s work to do

It’s time to take the hint - surprise
No better time to simplify
It chases you

It erases you
It erases you

After the lights
Had flickered out
You told me everything you dreamed about
Alone with you
I know the night is mine
