Lyrics

The air is dark, the night is sad

I lie sleepless and I groan

Nobody cheers when a man goes mad

He is sorry, God is glad

Shadow changes into bone

Shadow changes into bone

Into bone

Every shadow has a name

When I think of mine, I mourn

I hear rumors of such fame

Not for pride but only shame

Shadow changes into bone

Shadow changes into bone

When I blush, I wait for joy

And laughter drops from me

Like a stone, the aging laughter of a boy

To see the age was dead, so cold

When I blush, I weep for joy

And laughter drops from me

Like a stone, the aging laughter of a boy

To see the age was dead, so cold

The air is dark, the night is sad

I lie sleepless and I groan

Nobody cheers when a man goes mad

Written by: Allen Ginsberg, Malakoff Kowalski, Robert Schumann
