You Know the Night |
| You know the night I met you |
| My eyes had been looking for you |
| All over everywhere |
| Over low roads, down highways, and bald deserts |
| You know the night |
| You know the night |
| Your eyes had this same shine about 'em, I noticed |
| And when I first looked through the wild, wayward mist |
| I felt such a warm friendly, cool sunny smile |
| That I wanted to look in your eyes for all time |
| And I felt like you feel |
| When you feel like the angels are curling your hair |
| And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel |
| I just felt like you feel |
| When you feel like the angels are curling your hair |
| And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel |
| Did you feel this way too when I met you? |
| You know the night I first met you |
| Did you look at me and think |
| Here’s this guy who hopes like I hope |
| And sees the same kind of dreams I see |
| 'Cause you wondered, I know |
| If your hopes could find shape |
| In the words that we used there to work back the fog |
| Your hopes and your plans for the good of the people |
| Could all of your hundred and one |
| Dreams just as bright as the sun |
| And all your wants and your hottest desires |
| Find shape in the flow of my talk? |
| You know the night |
| You know the night |
| And if my jellied brain turns to ashes and sand |
| There will still be such night smiles across all the land |
| There will still be such faces meeting here in the dark |
| And there around the corner, or maybe in the park |
| It’s when we meet this way and we look at each other |
| We get a hold of our scattered aims and we bring em' |
| And beat them and wrestle and fight them and heat them |
| And beat them and weld them together |
| Like iron from the valley and fire from the sky |
| Like iron from the valley and fire from the sky |
| Like iron from the valley and fire from the sky |
| This blast furnace heat burns in our people’s eyes |
| You know the night I met you |
| My eyes had been looking for you |
| All over everywhere |
| Over low roads, down highways, and bald deserts |
| And I felt like you feel |
| When you feel like the angels are curling your hair |
| And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel |
| I just felt like you feel |
| When you feel like the angels are curling your hair |
| And you feel like the devil is scratching your heel |
