Shame on the night

For places I've been

And what I've seen

For giving me the strangest dreams

But you never really know just what they mean

Oh so shame on the night

Oh right And shame on you

You've stolen the day

Snatched it away

But I saw the sky

An I never want to die

Now you know the reason why

I said, oh shame on the night You don't care what you've done

So I think I'd better run Shame on the sun

For the light you sold

I've lost my hold

On the magic flame

And now I know your name

Oh Lord just go the way you came again

Oh shame on the night You don't care what you've done

So I know I'd better run Shame on the night

For places I've been

And what I've seen

Forgive me the strangest dreams

You never, never, never, never know just what they mean

And oh shame on the night You don't care what you've done

Here I go I've got to run
