(R.Mckuen)

[Recorded March 21, 1969, Hollywood]



I can just about get through the day,

But the night makes me nervous

Not for any reason.

Except maybe that it catches you unaware,

And follows you the way a woman follows

When she wants something..



[music interlude]



I've been in every kind of night,

Why, I shouldn't be afraid of darkness,

But for some reason, the night makes me nervous.



[music to the end]
