I make my home on a power line I come out at closing time I'm wide awake beneath the moon I am the nightbird singing songs for you Streets are still, no sign of life Skyline's filled with neon light I'm undefined, I'm in-between I am the nightbird, no one's watching me Won't somebody help me Lookin for a friend 'Cause when the sun comes up It starts all over again Taxi cabs are passing by No one here needs a ride We've all just quit or given up I am the nightbird, I just want to be loved I sit up here and think aloud Life below is slowin' down The clouds cry rain and steal the sky I am the nightbird, I won't fly tonight Won't somebody help me Lookin for a friend 'Cause when the sun comes up It starts all over again Listen close and hear the sound Another voice calling out I know by now it's not for me I am the nightbird, I'm still wandering I close my eyes and fold my wings The orange glow is blindin' me The cold wind snaps and hurts my chest I am the nightbird and I need some rest I am the nightbird and I need some rest
