Nite and Fog - Mercury Rev

If God moves across the water

Then the girl moves in other ways

And I’m losing sight of either

Nite and fog are my days

I wanted only to be gentle

But I gave her jealousy and rage

Who knows exactly what I’m after

Nite and fog are my days

Wisemen want faith

Fools want gold

Sailors want water

But you want it all

I tried to guide my love by starlight

And soon my life became a maze

Osiris and Orion were your favorites

Nite and fog are my days

Vampires want darkness

Monsters want souls

Spiders want corners

But you want it all

She turns half nude to find me naked

But I can see she wants me in other ways

In the dark I’ve driven her to madness

Nite and fog are my days

I hope you see your ship come in

May it find you and never lose it’s way

But I would make a poor captain

Nite and fog are my days

Vampires want darkness

Monsters want souls

Spiders want corners

But you want it all

But you want it all

But you want it all

But you want it all
