Shadows Of The Night
cause you were rolling in your sleep
Tell me you hate those bright street lights
sometimes the shadows give you the creeps
CHORUS
Please.. close your eyes
Please.. if you don't want to say
Please.. close your eyes
Please.. what keeps you awake
Tell me the air up here's too thin
You can't feel the wind when it moves
Tell me the stars are made of tin
and that they're banging on the roof
CHORUS
The sun will rise and keep your mind at ease
So close your eyes..
CHORUS
Please...
Blind
(Lord)
Jon plays harpsichord on this track, which is a love song, sort of squeezed into the format of a twelve bar blues. The middle section is a descending chromatic sequence which is intended to give a sort of "slowing down" effect.
I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And as as the year is growing older
I see winter on my shoulder
I stand in the haze
Watching stormy ripples grow on my own
Never knew your needed
Till I found myself standing here alone
And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning, such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, I've my reasons
It started to snow in the middle of July
Wonder why
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons changed to fast
Leave us all behind
Blind
But then the stone fell on the water
Putting end to summer's daughter
And me, I turn away remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing
It started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winter's begun
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons changed to fast
Leave us all behind
Blind
