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 make up is dark and it's careless

Some circles around my eyes

Sometimes the real color of my skin

Is my eyes without any shadow



And when I call

Will you walk gently

Thru my shadow

The ones who sing at night

The ones who sing at night

The ones you dream of

The ones who walk away

Capes pulled around them tight

Cryin' for the night

Cry for the nightbird tonite



And so the winter is really here now

And the blankets that I love

I am surrounded sometimes

By too much love



And when I call

Will you walk gently

Thru my shadow

The ones who sing at night

The ones who sing at night

The ones you dream of

The ones who walk away

Capes pulled around them tight

Cryin' for the night

Cry for the nightbird tonite



And the darkened eyes

Thru 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 you see the eyes of a nightbird

The ones you dream of

Finally the nightbird

Finally the nightbird

Tonite
