Shame on the night

For places I've been

And what I've seen

For giving me the strangest dreams

But you never really know just what they mean

So oh shame on the night



Shame on you

You've stolen the day

Snatched it away

But I saw the sky

An I never want to die

Now you know the reason why

Oh shame on the night



You don't care what you've done

So I think I'd better run



Shame on the sun

For the light you sold

I've lost my hold

On the magic flame

But now I know your name

Oh lord just go the way you came again

Oh shame on the night



You don't care what you've done

So I know I'd better run



Repeat verse 1



You don't care what you've done

Here I go I've got to run
