What I Have Seen of Night
You might think you're ready
For anything thrown at you
You might maintain that illusion
A year, a decade, or two
And your star may rise steady
Just like a silk balloon
Just like the peels of laughter
Ringing through your sleek bar rooms
And you think you can keep it up
Yeah you think you got right from wrong
And a fair breeze will whip up
To keep you sailin' along
But I hope for your own sake
It's always warm and bright
Cuz I don't think that you could take
What I have seen of night
No I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
Like you I came from nothin'
Found help along the way
Like you I peddled all my wares
And for a while knew what to say
But when you cut me loose my dear
Old demons did multiply
Twisting through my mind and guts
Until my will had petrified
And that's a chill you don't wanna feel
That's a freeze down into your soul
When the gray deepens and conceals
And you feel more half than whole
So I hope for your own sake
It's always warm and bright
Cuz I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
No I don't think that you could take
What I have seen of night
From where you sit, the ledger's black
You've got the fit, you've got the knack
But time is sweeping
Like it swept right over me
And you might find you owe
More than you can conceive
So I hope for your own sake
It's always warm and bright
Cuz I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
No I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
Oh I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
Hey I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
For anything thrown at you
You might maintain that illusion
A year, a decade, or two
And your star may rise steady
Just like a silk balloon
Just like the peels of laughter
Ringing through your sleek bar rooms
And you think you can keep it up
Yeah you think you got right from wrong
And a fair breeze will whip up
To keep you sailin' along
But I hope for your own sake
It's always warm and bright
Cuz I don't think that you could take
What I have seen of night
No I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
Like you I came from nothin'
Found help along the way
Like you I peddled all my wares
And for a while knew what to say
But when you cut me loose my dear
Old demons did multiply
Twisting through my mind and guts
Until my will had petrified
And that's a chill you don't wanna feel
That's a freeze down into your soul
When the gray deepens and conceals
And you feel more half than whole
So I hope for your own sake
It's always warm and bright
Cuz I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
No I don't think that you could take
What I have seen of night
From where you sit, the ledger's black
You've got the fit, you've got the knack
But time is sweeping
Like it swept right over me
And you might find you owe
More than you can conceive
So I hope for your own sake
It's always warm and bright
Cuz I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
No I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
Oh I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
Hey I don't think you could take
What I have seen of night
