(Dave Swarbrick, Dave Pegg)

Night-time girl, rocking in a chair

Whiles her time away combing up her yellow hair

Night-time girl, rocking in a chair

Looking in the mirror with a wide eyed stare

Night-time girl, when she's eager for the city

Dresses for the ball and she looks so young and pretty

Night-time girl, when she's eager for the city

Dresses for the ball and she looks so young and pretty

Night-time girl, there's a place they want to put you

Night-time girl, they say you're insane

Night-time girl, they tell me you're crazy

Isn't that a crying shame

Night-time girl, maybe all these changes

Are stages of what I'm hoping

Hard luck girl, your peace of mind

Must seem a long time coming

Night-time girl, there's a place they want to put you

Night-time girl, they say you're insane

Night-time girl, they tell me you're crazy

Isn't that a crying shame

Night-time girl, rocking in a chair

Whiles her time away combing up her yellow hair

Night-time girl, rocking in a chair

Looking in a mirror with a wide eyed stare

Night-time girl, they tell me you're crazy

Night-time girl, they say you're insane

Night-time girl, there's a place they want to put you

Isn't that a crying shame
