Paroles de Night Coloring

Night takes my worry off the leash Oh, that sorry wounded beast still bites Autumn steals the courage off of me Like the icy fingered breeze strips the branches And the trees so tall Do they feel it at all With their hard, hard skin? Someone, oh, just tell me who to be I will listen carefully to someone Doubled, my mind is doubled over maps But I've forgotten who to ask which way And the line that you draw Does it circle my heart Or color it in? Summer, and I'm a man of some repute But will I remember you or tighten the noose that lifts me? Darkness, I’ll keep my wonder close to me The stars make blinded eyes to see if we’ll let them Like a child I lie Set my worries aside As you take me in
