The Nights I Love
When misery is a mighty beast
My energy its stolen feast
And sleep-deprived though I dare not cry
For fear that emotions will then run dry
It's these nights I love
When I'm taunted by the great world around
And stapled are angel's wings to the ground
When tomorrow's forecast shows more shadowed rain
More pointed droplets with no mind but pain
It's these nights I love
When artificial lights cast hateful glare
When shrewd time chooses not to be fair
And parents' pillows turn to hardened rock
And every key I've got has not a lock
It's these nights I love
When it's quiet
And the world listens
And yawns
And reads a book
When the night sky's made of fine, designer silk
And just within reach a shining bed
With thick blankets
And fleece pajamas
These are the nights I love
