Night Is For Getting

(album: The Grand Bounce - 2010)

Here comes the night
They had its palace disregard
Another night spent at the ready
Yeah, to sleep or fight through
Sound tigers out in the yard

And the night is for getting
Night is for getting
Night is forgetting

Here comes the time
Dream and a dream we are
Another time, till slowly, we weren't
Yeah, the way you say, "It's fine"
Come home and a no

Yet there's a weird undercurrent
Weird 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 knitting
Yeah, you tried to pay
Spider legs on colder trails

Yeah, the night is for getting
Night is for getting
Night is for getting
Night is for getting

Night is for getting
Night is for getting
The night is for getting
When you say

Hush, baby, hush
Everything will turn out all right
Hush, baby, hush
Now we really need some quiet

Quiet, quiet, quiet
