Songtext von My Name Is The Night (Color Me Black)

Can you give me something? Tonight I'm so alone The moon is upside down Hanging on the telephone But I remember Every little bad dream Every pretty slow dance So can I pick you up later? (When the temperature's better?) If you need a little shelter (Be your cool operator) Keep it all quiet, yeah (Just a little while) Let the night wind you down, baby, down And she smiles, how 'bout that? I was just about to jump before you called me back And you know the pain comes home And the whispers come to call me In my bed when I'm alone And I've lost so much more than I ever had Now my name is the night, honey Color me black C-color me black Can I take you somewhere? Would it make a difference? Like pretty roses on a deathbed But I remember You in your white dress In your mama's hands So can I pick you up later? (When the temperature's better?) If you need a little shelter (Be your cool operator) Keep it all quiet, yeah (Just a little while) Let the night wind us down, baby, down And she smiles, how 'bout that? I was just about to jump before you called me back But you know the pain comes home And the whispers come to call me In my bed when I'm alone And I've lost so much more than I ever had Now my name is the night, honey Color me black C-color me black And how long, how long Until you believe that part of me is gone With your sweet, naïve kiss? Well, I used to feel the same until I let the darkness in And it cost me nothing baby Naw, nothing more than this Nothing more than this useless heart in my chest Ah, nothing that I needed And nothing I regret Nothing that I needed And I'd do it all again I'd do it all again And she smiles, how 'bout that? I was just about to jump before you called me back But you know the pain comes home And the whispers come to call me In my bed when I'm alone Singing "Oooo, not just yet When I go, I'll be going out In flames and fiery wrecks" And the quiet to me Such an ominous sound Say, my name is the night time now Yes, the quiet to me Such an ominous sound And my name is the night, honey Color me black
