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”
