Janis Ian — Lady of the Night

[Chorus] Say, Lady of the Night Spin a saddened softness into time Lady of the Night Spin a saddened softness through my mind [Verse 1] Come into my doorway Teach me how to play the spinning game And ride your train and be with your shows Take me with you anywhere Out of my chair, beyond the stairs I don't care, I've no where else to go [Pre-Chorus 1] I want you to be near me To feel me, heal me The vibrite of you magic lights my lonliness [Chorus] Say, Lady of the Night Spin a saddened softness into time Lady of thе Night Spin a saddened softness through my mind [Verse 2] Show mе to the memories I've never seen, or ever be And I'll try to reach whatever is beyond me Teach me how to forget The mindless strips of boot heel grips My memory were stripped before you found me [Pre-Chorus 2] I want you to hold me Show me, know me As the crystal shadows calls my comfort lulls [Chorus] Say, Lady of the Night Spin a saddened softness into time Lady of the Night Spin a saddened softness through my mind [Instrumental] [Chorus] Say, Lady of the Night Spin a saddened softness into time Lady of the Night Spin a saddened softness through my mind [Verse 3] If you'd like to teach me You can reach me on the street scene Where the lampposts by the beat begin surrounding You arrive; my senses call Thee footsteps fall and all in all The shimmering words of fall hang all around me [Pre-Chorus 3] I want so bad to see you again To be you again, I need you again Your plastic imagery to please and comfort me [Chorus] Say, Lady of the Night Spin a saddened softness into time Lady of the Night Spin a saddened softness through my mind
