Night - Time Girl Lyrics - Sandy Denny

Night-time girl rocking in a chair, 

Whiles her time away combing up her yellow hair. 

Night-time girl rocking in a chair, 

Looking in the mirror with a wide eyed stare. 

Night-time girl, when she's eager for the city, 

Dresses for the ball and she looks so young and pretty. 

Night-time girl, when she's eager for the city, 

Dresses for the ball and she looks so young and pretty. 

Chorus 

Night-time girl, there's a place they want to put ouy. 

Night-time girl, they say you're insane. 

Night-time girl, they tell me you're crazy, 

Isn't that a crying shame. 

Night-time girl, maybe all these changes 

Are stages of what I'm hoping. 

Hard luck girl, your peace of mind 

Must seem a long time coming. 

Chorus 

Night-time girl rocking in a chair, 

Whiles her time away combing up her yellow hair. 

Night-time girl rocking in a chair, 

Looking in the mirror with a wide eyed stare. 

Chorus
