(G.Cifarelli)
Why does nightime always end my day
Everyday working my fingers
to the bone
I am just a poor black man
trying to make a dime
so my friend
after my day is done
before the evening come
Why does nightime always end my day
10 pm.
Breezing into the club
drinking beer and making friends
‘till the evening ends
while the band
dixie rhythm & blues
all my favourite tunes
Why does nightime always end my day
Smoky room
filters the rays of light
just kiss goodbye the night
when’d it get so late ?
so early
morning has come along
and birds all their song
Why does nightime always end my day
Home ordinary as I am
no more special then
all the other guys
I’m a lover of the night
Don’t care ‘bout the light
So why it get so late so early
Every day
no more fingers the bone
my lady she done gone
with another man
so my friend
this place I made my home
and I will no longer roam
Why does nightime always end my day
From night today in everyway
