The Night - Voltaire

[00:40.55]The day is the wife whom I elude.
[00:43.42]The one to whom I should be right.
[00:46.27]Though forewarned by peers and kin
[00:49.00]I always give in to the night.
[00:51.90]Mother always warned me such,
[00:54.90]being a nocturnal soul
[00:57.90]Besides just being simply strange
[01:00.46]Spawns from some illness of the mind.
[01:03.40]
[01:03.76]But the Night,
[01:04.68]She calls me
[01:07.69]She calls me
[01:10.50]She calls me
[01:13.40]She calls me
[01:14.95]She sways in her velvet dress
[01:17.89]And pulls me towards her in the dark
[01:21.14]While the others rest
[01:24.32]While the others rest
[01:27.16]While the others rest
[01:31.33]
[01:41.39]Heed the call the time has come
[01:44.20]for you children of the Night
[01:47.12]Gather 'round like suckling dogs
[01:49.95]Mother's come she is the Night.
[01:52.85]Come with me to the other side.
[01:58.88]Make the girl in black your bride!
[02:01.90]
[02:04.38]But the Night,
[02:05.58]She calls me
[02:08.41]She calls me
[02:11.25]She calls me
[02:14.15]She calls me
[02:15.77]She sways in her velvet dress
[02:18.65]And pulls me towards her in the dark
[02:22.03]While the others rest
[02:24.99]While the others rest
[02:27.90]While the others rest
[02:32.75]
[03:19.59]It still seems very strange to me
[03:22.55]that her quiet, lonely streets
[03:25.59]draped in all their mystery
[03:28.02]could be so sweet and comforting
[03:30.60]
[03:30.99]But the Night,
[03:32.40]She calls me
[03:35.20]She calls me
[03:38.05]She calls me
[03:40.89]She calls me
[03:42.77]She sways in her velvet dress
[03:45.55]And pulls me toward her in the dark
[03:49.05]While the others rest
[03:51.91]While the others rest
[03:54.79]While the others rest
