On the streets I walk‑
Could there be a better way to spend the day, I don’t know
The night shines through in the dark
Could there be another way to end the day, then with no light‑
Shed my night
Visions of planets far away‑
Will we ever know what is to stay, or is‑it‑all just time
The mercury dips very warm
But not too warm to penetrate the long, restless night
Shed my night
I feel all world matter movin’ in
Or could it be that we, as keepers, just tuned in, all alive
We’d let the whole damn thing, slip away
But bless the night for always raising a new day, just one more time
Shed my night
