From the recording Angel of the Night
Angel of the night, down on the point
Inner harbor blues, turn up joint
Rhythm on the cobblestone, can’t be wrong
Three blocks north, they play a different song
Don’t stray up there, stay away from there
Being who you are you can’t fit in up there
It’s just a different way, you won’t understand
Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t look, just pretend
Don’t tell anyone they don’t have to know
What you know what you don’t know
Don’t tell anyone they don’t have to know
What you know what you don’t know
Don’t tell anyone they don’t have to know
What you know what you don’t know
Angel of the night, whoooo
Angel of the night, whoooo
Trouble with the world as I see it, people pretend that they don’t see it
Too much pain and suffering, can’t be fixed wiping the slate clean
No, too much wrong and I can’t fix it, gotta be willing to try, and risk it
Don’t look away, look in my eyes, play your part, and you’ll do right
The history, the mystery (hey)
It’s hard to get it when you’re staring at what you can’t see
We’re so far lost, the secret’s safe to keep
Find the answers in your dreams, fast asleep
Fast asleep, fast asleep, fast asleep yeah
I say don’t tell anyone they don’t have to know
What you know what you don’t know (fast asleep yeah)
I say don’t tell anyone they don’t have to know
What you know what you don’t know
What you don’t know
Don’t tell anyone they don’t have to know
What you know what you don’t know (fast asleep yeah)
Angel of the night
