Only Loved At Night - The Raincoats

A beauty only loved at night

At daytime a face full of marks

Her eyes have been in flames all night

The sun won’t have eyes for her again

Only loved at night, the lady in the dark

Knew the size of tall buildings

How dear a day-kiss could be

Those buildings that saw all the airplanes

That kissed the air in vain fantasy

Only loved at night, the lady in the dark

Didn’t her eyes reflect all of this?

Why couldn’t they look into her eyes?

Didn’t each night love her another time?

Male nights and sometimes female

Boys loved her at night

Girls loved her in the dark
