Night air has the strangest flavour
Space to breathe it, time to savour
All that night air has to lend me
Til the morning makes me angry

I’ve acquired a kind of madness
Daylight fills my heart with sadness
And only silent skies can soothe me
Feel that night air flowing through me

I don’t need those car- crash colours
I control the skies above us
Close my eyes to make the night fall
The comfort of the world revolving
I can hear the earth in orbit
 

I’ve acquired a taste for silence
Darkness fills my heart with calmness
And each thought like a thief is driven
To steal the night air from the heavens
