My Name Is The Night (Color Me Black)

Can you give me something

Tonight I'm so alone

The moon is upside down hanging on a telephone

But I remember every little bad dream

Every pretty slow dance

So can I pick you up later when your temperature's better

If you need a little shelter be your cool operator

Keep it all quiet yeah just a little longer

Let the night wind you down baby down

And she smiles how 'bout that

I was just about to jump before you called me back

And you know the pain comes home

And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I'm alone

And I've lost so much more than I ever had

Now my name is the night honey color me black

C-color me black

Can I take you somewhere

Would it make a difference

Like pretty roses on a deathbed

But I remember you in your white dress

In your mama's hands

So can I pick you up later

When your temperature's better

If you need a little shelter be your cool operator

Keep it all quiet yeah just a little longer

Let the night wind us down baby down

And she smiles how 'bout that

I was just about to jump before you called me back

But you know the pain comes home

And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I'm alone

And I've lost so much more than I ever had

Now my name is the night honey color me black

C-color me black

And how long how long until you believe that part of me is gone

With your sweet naive kiss

Well I used to feel the same until I let the darkness in

And it costs me nothing baby nah nothing more than this

Nothing more than this useless heart in my chest

Nothing that I needed nothing I regret

Nothing that I needed and I'd do it all again

I'd do it all again

And she smiles how 'bout that

I was just about to jump before you called me back

But you know the pain comes home

And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I'm alone

Singing ooh not just yet

When I go I'll be going out in flames and fiery wrecks

And the quiet to me such an ominous sound

Said my name is the nighttime now

Yes the quiet to me such an ominous sound

And my name is the night honey color me black
