The Raincoats, "Only Loved At Night"
(1981)

Her beauty only loved at night
Daytime her face full of might
Her eyes are beaming flames all night
The sun won't have eyes for her again

Only loved at night
Lady in the dark

Knew the size of tall buildings
How dear a day kiss could be
Those buildings that saw the airplanes
The kiss, the end, the fantasy

Only loved at night
The lady in the dark

Didn't her eyes reflect on the place?
Why couldn't they look into her eyes?
Didn't each night love another time?
Male might and sometimes female

Boys loved her at night
Girls loved her in the dark

Boys loved her at night
Girls loved her in the dark


Transcribing these is giving me trouble; if you're a Raincoats fan, help me out.
