Night Bird

And the summer became the fall I was not ready for the winter It makes no difference at all Cause I wear boots all summer long My makeup dark and it's careless Same circles around my eyes Sometimes the real color of my skin Is my eyes without any shadow And when I call Will you walk gently Through my shadow The ones who sing at night The ones who sing at night The ones you dream of The ones who walk away With their capes pulled around them tight Cryin for the night Cry for the nightbird tonight The winter's really here now And the blankets that I love Sometimes I am surrounded By too much love And when I call Will you walk gently Through my shadow The ones who sing at night The ones who sing at night The ones you dream of The ones who walk away With their capes pulled around them tight Cryin for the night Cry for the nightbird tonight --- Night Bird - Anita O'Day
