lyrics

I know the city by night
How every lamp shines down from overhead
To me every street looks bright
While all good people sleep like the dead
I open up my ears to hear sounds
On my own all alone I do what I want
I carry out my appointed rounds
I once was a daily habitué but now I only haunt

If I still had friends to meet
They might say I look a little pale
Maybe they'd suggest more red meat
Travel to put a little wind in my little sail
I open my mouth to let out sound
The things I feed on would simply astound
I carry out my appointed rounds
The only point since you're not around

And I find I don't miss much
Except the look that was in your eyes
The glow that I saw go with your goodbyes
I suppose that it's only fair
Now that darkness and I are a pair
Together in my lair I'm only missing sunrise
