about

existential song about how a life can turn on a dime.

lyrics

Night of Glass

He was starved for affection
And too far from heaven to see.
Young sailors alone, a long way from home
Have a way of finding their own misery.
She was a wild one, not much more than a child.
He had no way of knowing where she had come from
And no way of caring, as the night closed around him
And the night put this sailor on trial.

The night of glass shattered around them.
They rolled in it’s slivers and bled in the dark.
The night of glass made up this story.
The night of glass shattered their lives and broke everyone’s heart.

She was a runaway,
Too far from heaven to see.
She and her boyfriend whom she had just met
Were looking for money that they’d get for free.
The two had a gun and cocaine for sale was their bait.
A young girl running wild through the cold city lights
Lit the young sailor’s mind, so this lonely young sailor
Would not even put up a fight.

Chorus— Night of glass etc.

Blood becomes meaningless
After it’s spilled on the ground.
The young sailor bled alone in the dark.
In the gray dawn of morning his body was found.
The police found her and her boyfriend not far from this place.
At their trial the judge, when he heard their story,
Slammed the door of their cells
Until no one out side knows their face.

Their night of glass shattered around them.
They rolled in it’s slivers, and bled in the dark.
Their night of glass made up this story.
Their night of glass shattered their lives and broke everyone’s heart.
(REPEAT CHORUS AND LAST LINE)
