You Know the Night

You know the night I met you

My eyes had been looking for you

All over everywhere

Over low roads, down highways, and bald desertsYou know the night

You know the nightYour eyes had this same shine about`em I noticed

and when I first looked through the wild, wayward mist

I felt such a warm friendly, cool sunny smile

That I wanted to look in your eyes for all timeAnd I felt like you feel

When you feel like the angels are curling your hair

And you feel like the devil is scrathing your heel

I just felt like you feel

When you feel like the angels are curling your hair

And you feel like the devil is scrathing your heelDid you feel this way too when I met you?

You know the night I first met you

Did you look at me and think

Here's this guy who hopes like I hope

and sees the same kind of dreams I see

`Cause you wondered, I know

If your hopes could find shape

In the words that we used there to work back the fog

Your hopes and your plans for the good of the people

Could all of your hundred and one

Dreams just as bright as the sun

And all of your wants and your hottest desires

Find shape in the flow of my talk?

You know the night

You know the nightAnd if my jellied brain turns to ashes and sand

There will still be such night smiles across all the land

There will still be such faces meeting here in this dark

and there around the corner, or maybe the park

It`s when we meet this way and look at each other

We get hold of our scattered aims and bring em`

And beat them and wrestle and fight them and heat them

And beat them and weld them together

Like iron from the valley and fire from the sky

Like iron from the valley and fire from the sky

Like iron from the valley and fire from the sky

This blast furnace heat burns in our peoples eyesYou know the night I met you

My eyes had been looking for you

All over everywhere

Over low roads, down highways, and bald desertsAnd I felt like you feel

When you feel like the angels are curling your hair

And you feel like the devil is scrathing your heel

I just felt like you feel

When you feel like the angels are curling your hair

And you feel like the devil is scrathing your heel
