NIGHTBIRD © Stevie Nicks & Sandy Stewart
single released 12.83

And the summer became the fall...I was not ready for the winter
It makes no difference at all...'Cause I wear boots all summer long
Eye make-up dark and it's careless...Same circles around my eyes
Sometimes the real color of my skin...My eyes without any shadow

And when I call...Will you walk gently through my shadow
It's the ones who sing at night (Cry the nightbird)
The ones who sing at night...The ones you dream of...
The ones who walk away...with their capes...pulled 'round them tight
Cryin' for the night...Cry for the nightbird...tonight

The winter's really here now...
And the blankets that I love...
Sometimes I am surrounded...By too much love

And when I call...Will you walk gently through my shadow
It's the ones who sing at night...It's the ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of....The ones who walk away...
With their capes pulled 'round them tight
Cryin' for the night...Cry for the nightbird...tonite
(Doo Doo Doo..Doo Doo Doo Doo...)

And when I call...will you walk gently through my shadow
It's the ones who sing at night...(cry the nightbird) it's the ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of...the ones who walk away (the ones who run away)
With their capes pulled 'round them tight
Crying for the night...Cry for the nightbird...tonight And when I call will you walk gently through my shadow...
Just like the white winged dove...(cry for the nightbird)
The ones who sing at night...

Through the dark and the net of the lace
Pulls back the net and it's hard to see her face
(Just like the white winged dove)
And you feel the touch...
The touch that you want so much...
Yes when I call you can walk gently...
Through my shadow...Just like the white winged dove...
(hard to see her face) Don't be afraid...
You'll see...you'll see..
