Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes - I Talk to the Night lyrics

I Talk To The Night (J. Lyon/M. Noble) The sidewalk heaves a sigh of relief As the heat of the day finally fades The cracked asphalt bleeds rainbow beads That dance in the late evening haze And I turn from my whiskey and I peer out the door Here comes a boy that I've been waiting for Deep, dark and silent, the one I adore I talk to the night I talk to the night Hell, maybe I'm crazy, or maybe I'm just tight Whoa, yea, I talk to the night Stand stretchin' stare in the deep sea gloom As the sharp edges melt away One big world, one little moon And the curtains shimmy and sway I reach for my gla** and I hear the floor boards squeak I crawl into my bed and I hear my old bones creak Then in silence I wait for the darkness to speak And I talk to the night Oh, I talk to the night, yes I do She never argues, no we never fight I talk to the night Oh, I talk to the night Speak to me darlin' Into my head, the sharp words you said Stab like a lost child's cry I'm a loser at best, yea, and all the rest To which, of course, there is no reply No reply I pulled down the shade and I turned off the light Blackness for me, but it holds no fright I dance with the darkness and my demons take flight And I talk to the night Oh, I talk to the night You know, my tongue gets tied in that bright daylight I talk to the night I speak with the darkness And I talk to the night I speak with the darkness And I talk to the night I speak with the darkness
