Winter Nights 2.0
The frigid nights fall earlier
On these chilly winter days
And the moon-man mounts the sky
Veiled in Metropolis haze
The mornings all break later
So slow the new day’s dawn
The bitter blanket lingers
For the winter nights are so long
Stars spangle the satin sky
As the moon-man dips down low
Twinkling winks from a million worlds
And here we are, do they know?
Oh I wish the night would never end
Yes, I wish the night would never end
