The Dead Of The Night lyrics
Song information
Artist: Shawn Colvin Album: Steady On
Lyrics
S. colvin
It is the dead of the night Oh the dead of the night I live on a dream, it came to me When I was young I brought it here, and now for years The streets of london keep it safe and warm Every morning it dies and it is reborn In the dead of the night
I keep a pencil and a book I say this is how a life can look Russian roulette, french-kissed cigarette And the silence like an anvil The things that you learn, but now all That burns Is a candle And the fog melts over the night, and It softens the edges I begin to write in the dead of the night
A bead of sweat runs down my arm And I drink it from my skin It is the most real thing that I feel It is communion Bless the meek Heal the sick Protect the weak In the dead of the night
