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
  (The night speaks to a woman)
Night speaks like water on the breeze
Night speaks like water on the breeze
  (The night speaks to a woman)
Night speaks like water on the breeze

Night speaks water on the breeze, like water
  (The night speaks to a woman)
Night speaks like water on the breeze
Night speaks like water on the breeze, like water
(The night speaks to a woman)
Night speaks like water on the breeze
Night speaks
(The night speaks to a woman)
Night speaks like water on the breeze, like water on the

Night speaks like water on the breeze
  (The night speaks to a woman)
Night speaks like water on the breeze, yeah
Night speaks like water on the breeze
(The night speaks to a woman)
Night speaks like water on the breeze, yeah

Night speaks like water on the breeze, yeah
(The night speaks to a woman)
Night speaks like water on the breeze
