Night So Still - Catie Curtis

I turn on the hallway light

I am up again at night

I’ve got my window seat

Got a light that shines down to the street

In the day I think I can

But at night I think again

Got these worries on my mind

And I’ll organize them one more time

And if I hold the night so still

I know I’ll be alright until

The morning

Oh, the darkness makes me smaller

And the world seems that much taller

Sometimes I worry I’ll get what I hoped

And I’ll have to stand up and sing the songs I wrote

But if I hold the night so still

I know I’ll be alright until

The morning

Oh, a walk would do me good

But I don’t trust the neighborhood

I could call my West Coast friends

And say «hey, I’m up again»

I let my mind run through the house

Pretty soon I’m tired out

Empty my pockets, take off my shoes

In sleep I will join you

Can you hold the night this still

So I will be alright until

The morning?
