By day give thanks
By night beware


Night Vision
by Suzanne Vega
(Album: Solitude Standing)

By day give thanks
By night beware
Half the world in sweetness
The other in fear


Night Vision by Scott Giles

When the darkness takes you
With her hand across your face
Don't give in too quickly
Find the thing she's erased

Find the line, find the shape
Through the grain
Find the outline, things will
Tell you their name

The table, the guitar
The empty glass

All will blend together when
Daylight has passed



Find the line, find the shape
Through the grain
Find the outline, things will
Tell you their name

Now I watch you falling into sleep
Watch your fist curl against the sheet
Watch your lips fall open and your eyes dim
In blind faith

I would shelter you
Keep you in light
But I can only teach you
Night vision
Night vision
Night vision
