Night Rains

Janis Ian Night Rains Lyrics:
I have seen the starlight fading
Into echoes on the floor.
And I dreamed the stars parading,
Like tin soldiers on the shore.
Well, the city casts no shadow now,
At midnight, all the whores
Come out and dance with darkness,
And the night rains pour.

Moonbeams gather dust,
The cobwebs rust into the ground.
Windows stare at the open air,
And the sparrows dare to drown.
And death becomes a debutante,
Stranded in her gown.
Branded like a leper,
And the night rains down.

By morning all the debutantes,
And the virgins have their fill.
Well, it's a signal to the vagabonds,
Who come in for the kill.
Me, I must be lucky now,
For the sky is with me still.
It's written on the wind,
That the night rains chill.

[Instrumental break.]

Dreamed the sun was falling
Into darkness, and I ran
Into the night was endless
Slipping through my famished hand.
And the sky was like a furnace,
I could not see to stand.
Committed to their emptiness,
The night rains sand.

I have seen the starlight fading,
Into echoes on the floor.
And I dreamed the stars parading
Like tin soldiers on the shore.
Well, he city casts no shadow now,
At midnight, all the whores
Come out and dance with darkness,
And the night rains pour.

Come out and dance with darkness,
Let the night rains pour.
