Night Vision Lyrics

 Suzanne Vega
 
 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, things will
 Tell you their name
 
 The table. the guitar
 The empty glass
 
 All will blend together when
 Daylight has passed
 
 Find the line, find the shape
 Through the grain
 Find the outline, things will
 Tell you their name
 
 Now I watch you falling into sleep
 Watch your fist curl against the sheet
 Watch your lips fall open and your eyes dim
 In blind faith
 
 I would shelter you
 Keep you in light
 But I can only teach you
 Night vision
 Night vision
 Night vision
