I Need The Night

(album: Californian Soil - 2021)

There is a voice it is chastising me
I was so cold, what had become of me
Take all your limbs and wrap them 'round your neck
So they all laugh at your predicament

All of the boys and girls
All people in this world
Give me a dream and I will give you my word

I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light till all of this ends

There is a whisper that our God is a she
She sits on high over the land and the sea
Her breast is heavy in a brand new world
Tell your grandmother and your boys and your girls
She's got a brand new favourite
Tell all the shrinks and haters
Give her a dream and she will give you her word

I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light till all of this ends

I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light till all of this ends

When I realised that I never loved them
That the ones before just held me down and caused me problems
It's in the way you see me, the way you hold me high
Tell me that you love me, longest days turn coldest nights

I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light till all of this ends
