Don't Talk To Her At Night Lyrics - Singles - Marc Cohn

Don't talk to her when shooting stars are falling 

Don't talk to her when she can smell the jasmine in the air 

Don't talk to her when no one knows you're calling 

You might just say the words that keep her waiting there 

Don't talk to her when she is softly sleeping 

Don't wake her to the sound of your voice whispering her name 

Don't tell her all the secrets you've heen keeping 

Don't tell her that you're drowning in a river of shame 

When the wolf is howling 

Underneath the moon 

Underneath the window 

Of a hotel room 

Burn the blanket 

Shoot the light 

But don't talk to her at night 

Don't talk to her in thunder or in lightning 

Don't talk to her with fuses blown and wires falling down 

Don't talk to her when the fever is frightening 

When she's burning in the bedroom in an evening gown
