Break out the blankets, my hands are getting cold
The sun’s been going down since 3pm
Don’t need the present, I prefer what’s old
And I’ll sleep until the seasons change again
Keep my deepest secrets from my friends
And find rest in darkness
That harmless night
Take shelter in shadow
Hide from light
I can’t remember stories I once knew
So I’m interviewing everyone I know
‘Bout last December, the last time I saw you
‘Fore I buried all my memories in the snow
When I realized that I liked being alone
And find rest in darkness
That harmless night
Take shelter in shadow
Hide from light
And the patient waits for his ills to die
Patient, waits for his ills to do
Hold real still and control your eyes
Hold real still and control your eyes
And find rest in darkness
That harmless night
Take shelter in shadow
Hide from light
