Acquainted with the Night

I've been one acquainted with the night
I've walked out in rain and back in the rain
I've outwalked the furthest city light
And I've looked down the saddest city lane

I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain
I've stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street

I've been one acquainted with the night
Oh the night where I belong
I've been one acquainted with the night
With the night

I've been one acquainted with the night
I've walked out in rain and back in the rain
I've outwalked the furthest city light
And I've looked down the saddest city lane

But not to call me back or say good-bye
And further still at an unearthly height
One luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong
Wrong nor right.

I've been one acquainted with the night
Oh the night where I belong
I've been one acquainted with the night
With the night

I've been one acquainted with the night
Oh the night where I belong
I've been one acquainted with the night
With the night
