Night Is for Getting

Here comes the night

With its palace disregard

Another night spent at the ready

To sleep or fight through sound tigers out in the yard

The night is for getting

Night is for getting

Night is forgetting

Here comes the time

For dreaming the dream we are

Another time, till slowly, we weren’t

The way you say, “it’s fine,” calm and enough

Yet there’s a weird undercurrent

A we’re undercurrent?

A weird undercurrent in your voice when you say

“Hush-hush, baby, hush

Everything will turn out all right

Hush, baby, hush

Now we really need some quiet”

Here comes the day

Dewdrops on the luminous veil

Another day spent in the netting where

You fight, you pay, on spider legs, on colder trails

Yeah, but night is forgetting

Night is forgetting

Night is for getting till you say

“Hush, baby, hush

Everything will turn out all right

Hush, baby, hush

Now we really need some quiet

Quiet, quiet, quiet”
