By day give thanks
By night beware
Half the world in sweetness
The other in fear When the darkness takes you
With her hand across your face
Don't give in too quickly
Find the thing she's erased Find the line, find the shape
Through the grain
Find the outline and things will
Tell you their name The table, the guitar
The empty glass
All will blend together when
The daylight has passed Find the line, find the shape
Through the grain
Find the outline and things will
Tell you their name Now I watch you falling into sleep
Watch your fist uncurl against the sheet
Watch your lips fall open and your eyes dim
In blind faith I would shelter you
And keep you in light
But I can only teach you
Night vision, night vision, night vision
