"My Name Is The Night (Color Me Black)" Lyrics

Can you give me something?
Tonight, I'm so alone
The moon is upside down, hanging on a telephone
But I remember every little bad dream
Every pretty slow dance

So can I pick you up later? (When the temperature's better)
If you need a little shelter (?)
Keep it all quiet, yeah (just a little longer)
Let the night wind you down, pretty girl
And she smiles, how about that?

I was just about to jump before you called me back
And you know the pain comes home
And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I'm alone
And I've lost so much more than I've ever had
Now my name is the night, honey, color me black

Can I take you somewhere?
Would it make a difference?
Like pretty roses on a deathbed
But I remember you in your white dress
In your mama's hands

So can I pick you up later?
So can I pick you up later? (When the temperature's better)
If you need a little shelter (?)
Keep it all quiet, yeah (just a little longer)
Let the night wind us down, baby, down

And she smiles, how about that?
I was just about to jump before you called me back
But you know the pain comes home
And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I'm alone
And I've lost so much more than I ever had
Now my name is the night, honey, color me black
C-color me black

And how long, how long until you believe that part of me is gone?
With your sweet, naive kiss
I used to feel the same until I let the darkness in
And it cost me nothing, baby, not nothing more than this
Not nothing more than this useless heart in my chest
Nothing that I needed, nothing I regret
Nothing that I needed, and I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again

And she smiles, how about that?
I was just about to jump before you called me back
But you know the pain comes home
And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I'm alone
Singing, "Ooh, not just yet"
When I go, I'll be going out in flames and fiery reds
And the quiet, to me, such an ominous sound
And my name is the nighttime now
And the quiet, to me, such an ominous sound
And my name is the night, honey, color me black
