Lyrics

I lost control, went too far without a break
I was alone (all alone) and I took more than I could take
I feel it closer, closer as it creeps along my spine
Colder, colder, just ran out of time

So lay down slowly, in a bed of crumpled nettles
With a flash of perspiration, that takes too long to settle
And all of those places that put my mind at ease
Are out touch out of reach, it brought me to my knees

I let the Night.....
(I let the Night and the Devil take me)

When is a door not a door? Well I've never seen it look like that before
And all of that self control, is eaten to the core
A hazy object that shakes in front of my eyes
Is just my hand, reaching out, but I just can't keep it steady

I let the Night .....
(I let the Night and the Devil take me)

Won 't it ever stop?
I was so alone, in the night
But you made it alright for me, in the night

I let the Night .....
(I let the Night and the Devil take me)

Crying in the night
Won 't it ever stop?

Notes
When I left college to go into the Big World of Reality, I had some problems adjusting and lost it for a brief moment.
This song is sung from the perspective of me fighting my demons in the night..
I wanted to create a feel of a speakeasy or hot jazz club atmosphere in the very early hours with the smoke hanging in the air, so smooth and slinky, but with a slightly out of phase/out of kilter edge (of unreality) to it.
Laura F. on sax weaves her way through the mellotrons and guitars beautifully here.
