Lady Night - Noa - Lyrics

Lyrics and music : Achinoam Nini (Noa)

I walk alone into lady night
  She wraps me in her black veils, wraps me tight
  Her velvet touch on my weary eyes
  Kisses softly
  Windy sighs

  Lady night in her grandeur flaunts jewels of light

Flirting with sir half-moon,
  She shimmies slowly backs-o-mountains
  Dips her hair in twilight

  Walk alone into lady night
  The woman’s discreet as a grave, and I know she’ll
  Want your tears

  Lady night’s got an appetite
  For sorrow liquidated into pearls of light
  One by one shell gather them to her breast
  Kiss your lowered eyes and bid you rest.

  She takes me to her tummy, I clutch her warmth
  I know that I am falling
  She delves into my mind, delves into my mind,

brings out my darkest thoughts
  To keep her dark from dawning
  (I know that’s what she wants)

  I turn my back to lady night
  My mind is clear
  My pearls are in her satchel
  I’ve paid my share of blackness to her.

  Turn my back to the lady, though she calls
  She calls… !
  But I am going to the dawn

I am going to the dawn

I am going to the dawn
  And she can no longer
  Keep me...
