Night Speaks to a Woman - Trey Anastasio

I know a princess with one foot in the fire

Two steps from the water’s edge

She rides three sheets to the winds who whispers that

I know a girl who’s walking on a wire

Balanced in the air conditioned

Breeze that blows the wind chimes tells me that

I know a woman with whom I conspire

Lawlessness abounds just listen to the sounds

As the night speaks to a woman I once knew

Night speaks

I know a queen who loved me for a week

Said more from one through four

By seven she would hardly speak

But through words in a book, she never let me see

Stashed it high up on my shelf and never made me doubt myself

Until reading the words, the section that I seek

Inside I see a tiny piece of me

Spread out on the pages I once knew

Lawlessness abounds, just listen to the sounds

As the night speaks to a woman I once knew

Like water on the breeze

The night speaks to a woman

Like water on the breeze

Like water on the breeze

The night speaks to a woman

Like water on the breeze

Night speaks

Like water on the breeze

The night speaks to a woman

Like water on the breeze

Night speaks like water on the breeze

Night speaks like water on the breeze
