The Night's Beginning To Shine

THE NIGHT'S BEGINNING TO SHINE

The riffraff and bar staff they’ve all gone to bed
And the clocks are all checking the time
And the candle light fades so the guitars can say
That the night’s just beginning to shine
The day’s long demands, now they’re all far away
And the work and the worry are gone
Cause the nighttime belongs to our souls and our songs
And tomorrow is still far away

When your keys and tequila have been stoled by your friends
And the salt’s left to suck on the lime
It’s the fire in your chest I’d say says it best
That the night’s just beginning to shine
The day’s long demands, now they’re all far away
And the work and the worry are gone
And the stars in the sky, they wink while they cry
Cause tomorrow is still far away

You can close both your eyeballs and soak up the scene
And just sketch it all flesh in your mind
Cause it’s the edge of the trance where the ankle bells dance
And where the night’s just beginning to shine

When incensed and indecent make out on the floor
And propriety snorts back her line
Well a kiss means as much as tonight we’ve been touched
And tonight’s just beginning to shine
And the day’s long demands, now they’re all far away
And the work and the worry are gone
And consequence hides her face from her eyes
Cause tomorrow is still far away
