Graham Parker - Endless Night lyrics

rate me

Pre>(e) a e d a d e

Uh, I had the time but I blew it, I had the power and I knew it

D a d e

Had the energy, but outgrew it, the identity but saw through it, yeah

E d a d e

I had the walk, but got trampled, had the taste, it was sampled

D a d e

Had the engine dismantled, had the flame, but no candle

Chorus

D e

I can't bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now

D e f#m

If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night

E d a e f#m

That turns on the endless night, that turns on the endless night

E d e

That turns on the endless night ah ah ah uh

Ah, if there's a wire, must cross it, if there's a coin, must toss it

If it's dirt can't wash it, it's my head, d-don't cosh it

There's a door, but they shut it, we all bleed, they cut it

It's so dark when you don't fit, it's a gauntlet you gotta run it oh baby

A e

Repeat chorus (plus) turn on the endless night

Instrumental verse (then)

B

Turn on the endless, turn on the endless, turn on the endless

If there's a cross, then bear it, if there's a loss, then share it

If it's a risk let's dare it, if it's blindness, outstare it

Repeat chorus (plus)

D a e f#m

That turns on the endless night,

(that, just, and) turns on the endless night

E d e

Let's turns on the endless night ah ah ah uh

(repeat with variations and fade) /pre>
