Shawn Colvin - The Dead Of The Night Lyrics
It is the dead of the night
Oh the dead of the night
I live on a dream, it came to me
When I was young
I brought it here, and now for years
Every morning it dies and it is reborn
In the dead of the night
I keep a pencil and a book
I say this is how a life can look
Russian roulette, French-kissed cigarette
And the silence like an anvil
The things that you learn, but now all
that burns
Is a candle
it softens the edges
I begin to write in the dead of the night
A bead of sweat runs down my arm
And I drink it from my skin
It is the most real thing that I feel
It is communion
Bless the meek
Heal the sick
Protect the weak
In the dead of the night

Bellísima canción de nuestra Shawn Colvin. Grande artista! Hay que seguir rescatando discos que ayudaron a perfilar el sonido de los 80!
My absolute favorite song of all time 😌
This is one of Shawn Colvin's early masterpieces...it sets the stage for the great performance that is her life I think...her cosmic point of view...the clipped verses that say so much but give you no conclusions..."I live on a dream, it came to me when I was young..." all of her early work seems to revolve around this theme...her feeling of foreknowing...her vision fading in and out of clarity she waits by a candle with a pencil and a book ready to capture any glimpse...ready to serve her muse
