lyrics

Night of the Devil

We’re bound, my darling, more than ever
My sweetheart, my loving friend
I woke up in the middle of the night
The bed a-shaking and a-moaning
You were dreaming your little hell
I turned on the lights, there were things out there
Your books and pens and the bloody alphabet
A dark painting hovering in mid air
Its horror landscape trembling
As your cigarettes and long fingered hands

From under the bed
The sound of a voice, low, loud, a growl
Something’s creeping under the mattress
A fiend’s there, a devil that won’t come out
A devil’s there, the fiend that won’t come out


Since I am a big boy
I’ve forgotten their faces, the sound of their voices
The color of their eyes, the music they enjoyed

There are crates with toys down in the cellar
They’re stillborn presents of long gone birthdays
The time’s there to bury them far from here, far away
By a tree, near a river
The tree I do remember
Them hot nights, cool wine and the sun’s first rays
Birds singing their first song of day

Those are the songs to be remembered
These are the songs to be remembered
