From the recording Small Birds of Sound

Lyrics

No matter where you’re from
No matter where you’re going to
No matter who you know
No matter if you’re in who’s who
The night is gonna come
The night is gonna come
The night is gonna come

No matter what you do
No matter how you pass your days
No matter if you make the rules
No matter if you make your plays
The night is gonna come
The night is gonna come
The night is gonna come

And when it comes
It will be not like a cloak of darkness
But exactly like a tiny little bird
She will push through the chaff to look inside
To find a tiny little seed
She will lift that seed into the sky
And let the wind take hold

No matter where you’re at
No matter if you’re this or that
No matter what you own
No matter if you’re fully grown
The night is gonna come
The night is gonna come
The night is gonna come

And when it comes
It will be not like a cloak of darkness
But exactly like a tiny little bird
She will fly up high
Into the treetops to look for the strands
Of tightly woven brightly colored yarn
She will lift that yarn into the sky
And let the wind take hold
