When the Night Is Watching Me - The King's Blues Club
The night don't knock
It slides right in
Wears a smile like a second skin
It leans close with a breath so cold
Whispers secrets I never told
But I walk on, I let it be
While the night is watching me
Cards on the table, bottle half done
Someone bets high, someone's on the run
Truth gets blurry in the neon haze
But I see clear through the shadows gaze
Yeah, I sit still but I'm never free
When the night is watching me
I grin while the firelight flickers
I laugh till the stars go blind
I sing while the smoke draws figures
But the night can't take my mind
No, the night can't take my mind
There's a grin behind the dark
There's a growl in every tree
But I got my voice, my spark
The night can watch, but it can't be me
I howl while the firelight flickers
I burn through the cold and lies
I sing while the smoke draws figures
And the night just waits outside
Yeah, the night just waits outside
