Night Speaks To A Woman Lyrics - Trey Anastasio

I know a princess with one foot in the fire 

Two steps from the water's edge 

She rides three sheets to the winds who whispers that 

I know a girl who's walking on a wire 

Balanced in the air conditioned 

Breeze that blows the wind chimes tells me that 

I know a woman with whom I conspire 

Lawlessness abounds just listen to the sounds 

As the night speaks to a woman I once knew 

Night speaks 

I know a queen who loved me for a week 

Said more from one through four 

By seven she would hardly speak 

But through words in a book, she never let me see 

Stashed it high up on my shelf and never made me doubt myself 

Until reading the words, the section that I seek 

Inside I see a tiny piece of me 

Spread out on the pages I once knew 

Lawlessness abounds, just listen to the sounds 

As the night speaks to a woman I once knew 

Like water on the breeze 

The night speaks to a woman 

Like water on the breeze 

Like water on the breeze 

The night speaks to a woman 

Like water on the breeze 

Night speaks 

Like water on the breeze 

The night speaks to a woman 

Like water on the breeze 

Night speaks like water on the breeze 

(The night speaks to a woman) 

Night speaks like water on the breeze 

Night speaks like water on the breeze 

(The night speaks to a woman) 

Night speaks like water on the breeze 

Night speaks water on the breeze, like water 

(The night speaks to a woman) 

Night speaks like water on the breeze 

Night speaks like water on the breeze, like water 

(The night speaks to a woman) 

Night speaks like water on the breeze 

Night speaks 

(The night speaks to a woman) 

Night speaks like water on the breeze, like water on the 

Night speaks like water on the breeze 

(The night speaks to a woman) 

Night speaks like water on the breeze, yeah 

Night speaks like water on the breeze 

(The night speaks to a woman) 

Night speaks like water on the breeze, yeah 

Night speaks like water on the breeze, yeah 

(The night speaks to a woman) 

Night speaks like water on the breeze 

Night speaks
