Night Vision
---------------------------------------------------------------------


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

                              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
