The Night Was Not
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The night was not
As the doggies in the alley moaned
The night was not
And what you told me put me into shock
Put me through some heavy changes on the spot
Told me you were leaving though you loved me a lot
Now I've got to live with what I've got
But the night was not
The night was not
As the sirens faded down the block
The night was not
And as you packed your things I couldn't watch
But it isn't love that hurts so much
'Cause the love in me would give you up
In an illusion of love I was caught
But the night was not
But the night was not
But the night was not
But it isn't love that hurts so much
'Cause the love in me would give you up
In an illusion of love I was caught
But the night was not
But the night was not (the night was not)
(The night was not)
(The night was not)
No, no, the night was
No, no, the night was not (the night was not)
And the night was not
The night was not
No, no, the night was
No, no, the night was not (the night was not)
And the night was not
The night was not
