Lyrics for Only Loved at Night

A beauty only loved at night At daytime a face full of marks Her eyes have been in flames all night The sun won't have eyes for her again Only loved at night, the lady in the dark Knew the size of tall buildings How dear a day-kiss could be Those buildings that saw all the airplanes That kissed the air in vain fantasy Only loved at night, the lady in the dark Didn't her eyes reflect all of this? Why couldn't they look into her eyes? Didn't each night love her another time? Male nights and sometimes female Boys loved her at night Girls loved her in the dark
