" "Nighthawks
I wanted to run away with you tonight
but you are a difficult woman
the rules of you -
Past and future circle round us
now we know more now less
in the institute of shadows.
On a street black as widows
with nothing to confess
our distances found us
the rules of you -
so difficult a woman
I wanted to run away with you tonight.
