Fire Shut Up in My Bones, Act III: I used to hate the night (”Live”) Lyrics by Will Liverman, Angel Blue, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra

Blanchard: Fire Shut Up in My Bones (Recorded Live at the Met - October 23, 2021)

0

I used to hate the night
Night was my sworn enemy
I can't believe how much it frightened me
It brought unwanted thoughts and memories
Now I look at dusk impatiently
Hurry, twilight, I need to see the stars
And here you are, the night brings you
I used to pray for dreamless sleep to deliver me to morning
I can't believe how much I used to sleep
Now I'd give up sleep forever
To make night a moment longer
Because night brings you
When I'm with you, I lose myself, become myself
I don't know where you begin and where I end
If I could stay, I swear I'd never sleep again
I'd give up sleep to be with you
The night brings you
Stay
I can't
Why do you always have to go?
Can I tell you something?
You can tell me anything
You say that now
We've told each other so many things
More than I've told anyone
What can't you tell me?
Tell me something first
I love you
That's no secret
