Testo Endless night Graham Parker

Endless night

Uh, I had the time but I blew it, I had the power and I knew it
Had the energy, but outgrew it, the identity but saw through it, yeah
I had the walk, but got trampled, had the taste, it was sampled
Had the engine dismantled, had the flame, but no candle

Chorus
I cant bear to see how it all looks in the light, keep it hidden now
If I could only find a switch that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night, that turns on the endless night
That turns on the endless night ah ah ah uh

Ah, if theres a wire, must cross it, if theres a coin, must toss it
If its dirt cant wash it, its my head, d-dont cosh it
Theres a door, but they shut it, we all bleed, they cut it
Its so dark when you dont fit, its a gauntlet you gotta run it oh baby
Repeat chorus (plus) turn on the endless night
Instrumental verse (then)

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

If theres a cross, then bear it, if theres a loss, then share it
If its a risk lets dare it, if its blindness, outstare it

Repeat chorus (plus)
That turns on the endless night, (that, just, and) turns on the endless night
Lets turns on the endless night ah ah ah uh (repeat with variations and fade)
