A Night so Still - Tindersticks

In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart starts shaking My body starts aching And I just can't take no more No, no, Oh, baby Now I just wanna get close to you And taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night In the still of the night Over here baby In the heat of the day I hang my head down low And hide my face from the sun Through the light of the day Until the evening time I'm waiting for the night to c-c-come Ooh, baby In the still of the night In the cool moonlight I feel my heart is aching In the still of the night Oh, baby I can't keep away No. I can't keep away No, no no In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more Oh! Mama Now I just wanna get close to you And taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night Oh, yeah In the still of the night I will be sneaking 'round your door In the still of the night In the still of the night In the still of the night Still of the night Still of the night Still of the night Still of the night Still of the night Still of the night

We're not the ones to blame Burning passions mixed with pain Past the point of no return Nothing stays the same The streets become our home Restless souls out on our own Trapped my ruins made by fools Chasing the unknown In the still of the night With nowhere to turn We took a roll of the dice And we learn And in the still of the night Streets of fire will burn As we run for our lives To survive Yeah Voices in the dark Calling us to play a part Little be known the razor's edge Have we gone too far? Every chance that we take There is a price that must be paid It's easy come and easy go But we are here to stay Yeah! In the still of the night With nowhere to turn We took a roll of the dice And we learn In the still of the night Streets of fire will burn As we run for our lives To survive Yeah Oh! In the still of the night (Of the night) With nowhere to turn We took a roll of the dice And we learn And in the still of the night Streets of fire will burn As we run, run for our lives To survive To survive To survive And where do I turn In the still of the night And what did I learn In the still of the night The fires still burn, yeah Yeah, yeah

Love's followed my memories Drawn out into infinity Tried to grasp them but I always miss Time goes by so fast as though it hardly wants to exist Let's make a mask of our face, of our hands So that we can be still for a while For a while For a while All the many ways that you can choose to be alive All the countless steps you take before you have arrived All the passing faces going quickly on their way Where are they going so quickly And where are you going to the same One moment you're awake and making a sound A lover asleep in your ground In your ground In your ground Well shall we wrap it all up in bows Thank you i have all my thoughts to go Wrapped up in a bow to the rest of my song To hide away To hide it away To hide it away Yeah hoping somebody might find it Yeah hoping somebody might find it Yeah hoping somebody might find it Yeah hoping somebody might find it

I start to move To step outside what's become of you Remember the time we crossed the line? Lost our minds for you I still can't remember why We felt the need to bring you back to life After all of the things that We knew you would do Everything is still so strange That it's damaging my brain All the things that I can see Are not how they are supposed to be And I still want to believe That misery and agony and suffering Will someday deliver me Into a world where you belong to me An extinct disease Look into my eyes - come unto me Screaming out the backward names Of those you would deceive Your glamorized god is paralyzed To blackout the miracles I describe Learning a new way to terrorize All that we believe

(Stuart; carla; both) There are places I don't remember There are times and days, they mean nothing to me I've been looking through some of them old pictures They don't serve to jog my memory I'm not waking in the morning, staring at the walls these days I'm not getting out the boxes, spread all over the floor I've been looking through some of them old pictures Those faces they mean nothing to me no more Chorus: I travel light You travel light Everything I've done You say you can justify, mmm you travel light I can't pick them out, I can't put them in these sad old bags Some things you have to lose along the way Times are hard, I'll only pick them out, wish I was going back Times are good, you'll be glad you ran away (Chorus) Do you remember, how much you loved me? You say you have no room in that thick old head Well it comes with the hurt and the guilt, and the memories If I had to take them with me I would never get from my bed There's a crack in the roof where the rain pours through That's the place you always decide to sit Yeah I know I'm there for hours, the water running down (my) (your)face Do you really think you keep it all that well hid? No but I travel light You don't travel light Everything I've done It's just a lie, you don't travel light I'm travelling light No you don't travel light I'm travelling light No, no, you don't travel light I'm travelling light You don't travel light
