Nightbirds
Red lights and the headlights of cars
Through the rain and the steam scream in the night
And oh there's a tortured man in a courtyard
His legs may be weak but still he begs for a fight
When I'm alone and I'm frightened and I feel her grip tighten
She sends nightbirds to howl at my door
When I'm alone and I'm frightened and I feel her grip tighten
She sends nightbirds to howl at my door
Just keep your head above the water
There's a slaughter raging outside
And I keep still when I'm spoken for
But you know it takes a broken man to hide
And over your shoulder cold hands start to hold you
Tin soldiers in black uniform
And oh with their worlds made from
Matchsticks they'll batter down your hatches
But their souls are tattered and torn
When I'm alone and I'm frightened and I feel her grip tighten
She sends nightbirds to howl at my door
When I'm alone and I'm frightened and I feel her grip tighten
She sends nightbirds to howl at my door
Just keep your head above the water
There's a slaughter raging outside
And I keep still when I'm spoken for
But you know it takes a broken man to hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
Just keep your head above the water
There's a slaughter raging outside
Through the rain and the steam scream in the night
And oh there's a tortured man in a courtyard
His legs may be weak but still he begs for a fight
When I'm alone and I'm frightened and I feel her grip tighten
She sends nightbirds to howl at my door
When I'm alone and I'm frightened and I feel her grip tighten
She sends nightbirds to howl at my door
Just keep your head above the water
There's a slaughter raging outside
And I keep still when I'm spoken for
But you know it takes a broken man to hide
And over your shoulder cold hands start to hold you
Tin soldiers in black uniform
And oh with their worlds made from
Matchsticks they'll batter down your hatches
But their souls are tattered and torn
When I'm alone and I'm frightened and I feel her grip tighten
She sends nightbirds to howl at my door
When I'm alone and I'm frightened and I feel her grip tighten
She sends nightbirds to howl at my door
Just keep your head above the water
There's a slaughter raging outside
And I keep still when I'm spoken for
But you know it takes a broken man to hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
To hide
Just keep your head above the water
There's a slaughter raging outside
