about

A song from 2003, moving from Austin to San Francisco and mourning the damage I caused as I tore away.

lyrics

What poor girl will I find when you are gone?
The devil calls out sadly to the dawn
The night hold me warm
The night turn me on
The night hold me warm

What true love will I find when you are gone
Hanging on the promise of the dawn . . .
The night hold me warm
The night turn me on
The night hold me warm

And I will stay -

"What cruel miracle could cause demon eyes to glow?"
His angel lover dusts her wings off and turns to go
The night hold me warm
The night turn me on
The night hold me warm

And I will stay -

Well, I know that you could've had any boy
So I felt on display and wanted to make it
I have no excuse, my attention faded
I feel like Lucifer in the moment he sees all that he's traded.

What bare road will I now wander down alone
As the dust rolls me out further from this town
The night hold me warm
The night turn me on
The night hold me warm

And I will stay

Don't you know that I ache for those lost autumn days
When you took me out and showed me all of Austin
Now I sit on the curb, my hands hold my face
Like Lucifer as he sees the gates close to grace

Well, I know that you could've had any boy
So I felt on display and wanted to make it
I have no excuse, my attention faded
I feel like Lucifer in the moment he sees all that he's traded.

What bright light will I trace when you are gone?
Ever nearer in my sight, misfit dawn
The night hold me warm
The night turn me on
The night keep the devil in her song.
