I was not ready for the winter
     It makes no difference at all
     'Cause I wear boots all summer long

     My eye make up is dark and it's careless
     Some 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
     Thru my shadow
     The ones who sing at night
     The ones who sing at night
     The ones you dream of
     The ones who walk away
     Capes pulled around them tight
     Cryin' for the night
     Cry for the nightbird tonite

     And so the winter is really here now
     And the blankets that I love
     I am surrounded sometimes
     By too much love

     And when I call
     Will you walk gently
     Thru my shadow
     The ones who sing at night
     The ones who sing at night
     The ones you dream of
     The ones who walk away
     Capes pulled around them tight
     Cryin' for the night
     Cry for the nightbird tonite

     And the darkened eyes
     Thru the net of the lace
     In the darkness
     It's hard to see her face
     Pulls back the net
     And you feel the touch
     Of her fingers
     And you see she turns the eyes
     And you see the eyes of a nightbird
     The ones you dream of
     Finally the nightbird
     Finally the nightbird
     Tonite
