Still of the Night Lyrics
In the still of the night I hear the wolf prowl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more
In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise
Telling me what's in store
My heart started aching, my body started shaking
And I can't take no more, no no
Now, I just wanna get close to you
And taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
Over here, baby!
In the heat of the day, I hang my head down low
Hiding my face from the sun
Through the light of the day until the evening time
I'm waiting for the night to come
Oh, baby
In the still of the night
In the cool moonlight
I feel my heart is aching
In the still of the night
Oh, baby
Can't keep away
Gotta get that love
Gonna get me some loving every day
Can't keep away
Get over here, baby!
awesome song....my favorite part is when it slows down in the middle and the guitarist in the video uses a violin bow to make that kick ass sound.then it picks up again!!! genius!!
sounds much like led zeppelin imo
Gothic feel .A little vampiric - the contrast of how he feels alive in the night and the dark sensuality; but lethargic in the day and must hide from the sun. And the desperate need.
Ballad? One of their heaviest songs. I love it.
Uh, yeah... This aint no ballad....
And the violin bow in the video was just for looks, it wasnt played that way with the guitar. It was an actual string section (violins, cellos, etc) that played that part on the album. That is "that kick ass sound" you hear, 'genius'. lol
@Justintime Yep, John Sykes is known for playing a 1978 Les Paul throughout his career, and that was definitly a superstrat he was throwing around.

Wow, first poster is an obvious mouth-breather. Ballad, lol.
This is a song about David Coverdale's raging sex mania.
Cool song, I could personally have done without the quiet part where he sounds like he's jerking off. "Caaan't keep away,,,ohhhh."
But the violin and the rest of the song are tight, awesome.
this is a great song.i love the sound of it.and it is apperently based off of led zepplin's black dog.so it looks like all of you are right about the led zepplin shit.but i never heard about plant being pissed off about it.still its a great song.oh yeah and that whole thing about the violin part,its true that it was just done for show on the guitar in the video,but i heard that its actually multiple synthesisers and keyboards that played it.not an actual violin like who ever it was that said it.i could be wrong though
Classic hair metal anthem !
Probably the best song to have SEX to.
The best Ballad ever done by Whitesnake or anyone else and its an honor to be the first one to note them on it on this site.
