Nordbut Night, have a drink with me

Night comes to visit, chanson starts to play
I sit by the window, sleep drifts away
A cigarette smolders, held in my hand
And with the smoke, my sorrows expand

Alone, all alone in the silence of night
Smoke, smoke, drifting up to the clouds
Night, oh night, have a drink with me don’t judge me yet
And don’t put out this cigarette

Silence hangs heavy o’er the sleeping land
With my night and my grief, I’m the only one planned
The cigarette burned like a star in the sky
The bottle grew empty, as time passed me by a simple story, no lie

Smoke curls upward, lost in the dark
I’m left all alone, no one to blame for the spark
Night, have a drink with me like in a fevered dream
I talk to you now, like a friend, or so it would seem

Alone, all alone in the silence of night
Smoke, smoke, like clouds hanging high
Night, oh night, have a drink with me! Don’t judge me yet
And don’t put out this cigarette

Night, night, night, just the night and the pain
Smoke, smoke, smoke, fading into the dark again
I’m alone, I’m alone, I’ll be here evermore
Just me and the night, just me and the night — Pour! If there’s more

Night, have a drink with me
Pour, if there’s more
