SUZANNE VEGA LYRICS - Night Vision

"Night Vision"



By day give thanks

By night beware

Half the world in sweetness

The other in fear



When the darkness takes you

With her hand across your face

Don't give in too quickly

Find the thing she's erased



Find the line, find the shape

Through the grain

Find the outline, things will

Tell you their name



The table. the guitar

The empty glass



All will blend together when

Daylight has passed



Find the line, find the shape

Through the grain

Find the outline, things will

Tell you their name



Now I watch you falling into sleep

Watch your fist curl against the sheet

Watch your lips fall open and your eyes dim

In blind faith



I would shelter you

Keep you in light

But I can only teach you

Night vision [X3]
