“Nighttime Laws” (Long Version)
Copyright by Frank A DeCenso, Jr.
She bled out all her secrets,
On the pavement’s fractured lines;
She never paused a moment,
Just to read the darkened signs;
That road had bred deceivers,
Who dragged her every mile;
Lies had cut each piece of her,
And even ripped her smile.
She went there for soft music,
Casanovas looked so proud;
Shd tried to hide emotion,
She was just one in a crowd;
Surrender was no option,
Just to find her way back home;
Those alleys like dark prisons,
Kept her love cold and alone.

On the pavement’s fractured lines;
She never paused a moment,
Just to read the darkened signs;
That road had bred deceivers,
Who dragged her every mile;
Lies had cut each piece of her,
And even ripped her smile.
Casanovas looked so proud;
Shd tried to hide emotion,
She was just one in a crowd;
Surrender was no option,
Just to find her way back home;
Those alleys like dark prisons,
Kept her love cold and alone.
CHORUS
Nighttime laws have a history,
Taking love and giving misery,
Try and run unlike the fools...
Who try to reach some lying jewels;
Stand up straight and never fall -
For all those nighttime laws
She hid inside the rubble,
Of some dreamers’ fabled lives;
Her mistakes tried to haunt her,
But she stood down their red eyes;
Then she found some strength within,
And broke through all love's walls;
She broke through like a fire,
Now she makes the nighttime laws.
Of some dreamers’ fabled lives;
Her mistakes tried to haunt her,
But she stood down their red eyes;
Then she found some strength within,
And broke through all love's walls;
She broke through like a fire,
Now she makes the nighttime laws.
BRIDGE
She broke the rules and that's just fine
She's making new ones for all to find -
And never look behind...
CHORUS
Nighttime laws have a history,
Taking love and giving misery,
Try and run unlike the fools...
Who try to reach some lying jewels;
Stand up straight and never fall -
For all those nighttime laws.
