From the recording The Lost Tapes
Lyrics
When the quiet of the moonlight
Has laid the city bare
All accept the shadows
Who keep company there
A word of consenting
The shadows slip away
With the touch of company
They wait the breaking day
The breaking day
Why then in the morning
Do they have to say goodbye
Why then in the morning
Does this brief encounter die
They live just for the moment
When they can be themselves
And not a disappointment
In being somebody else
But such is society
To crush who don’t conform
So they live quite quietly
In the shadows before the dawn
The shadows before the dawn
Why then in the morning
Do they have to say goodbye
Why then in the morning
Does this brief encounter die
Because they are lonely people
They can’t live like other people
No
