Night Versus Day Lyrics by The Sound
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
From the dark hill the huddled homes
Shine like sequins and sapphires;
Families each sealed inside
The frail fortress peace of mind requires.

A switch is snapped, and the borderline
Between night and day is gone.
Between shifting sea and firm ground,
Between savage and civilisation.

Sleep guides unseen
Into new territitory every night;
Abandons us to what we keep
Enslaved within the hours of light.
From the dark hill the huddled homes   Shine like sequins and sapphires;   Families each sealed inside   The frail fortress peace of mind requires.       A switch is snapped, and the borderline   Between night and day is gone.   Between shifting sea and firm ground,   Between savage and civilisation.       Sleep guides unseen   Into new territitory every night;   Abandons us to what we keep   Enslaved within the hours of light.
