I do my living by night
When the others are asleep
I lie awake and just might
Go out on the streets
Pass the stores without lights
I do my thinking by night
When the daywalkers hide
When I have space that’s right
For me to get out of my mind
And bring the me hiding outside
This town was always better after dark
When the houses are asleep
You can hear the trees in the park
When the noisemakers are asleep
I do my loving by night
When my heart is lonely
Thinking of mistakes not right
When I thought they only
Brought me out of the grave
I do my routine by night
I eat my dinner by dawn
And my breakfast at midnight
Doing everything, then gone
With the first fingers of daylight
This town was always better after dark
When the houses are asleep
You can hear the trees in the park
When the noisemakers are asleep
