I Am the Night, Color Me Black Lyrics

I know where you were born
I know it's you
I'll wait for weeks to find out
That nothing's true
And I'll wait too long

You had it all before
I noticed you
And now your wildest dreams are falling through
So I'll wait

And you'll wait for me
Unlock the door
I want the truth 'cause
If it's exactly what it claims to be then it may just set me free

I know where you were born
I know it's you
Your tiny hands were cold
But I wanted you anyway

Now I'm back in uniform
Back to the sea
O simple life I've known
Come back to me
And I'll wait

I'll shed this human form and I'll walk away
The night controls me now and that's where I'll stay
And I'll waste away but I'll make sure you don't

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song has something to do with the war. Not anything to do with whether the war is right or wrong, but chronicling the experiences of what some of the soldiers who had new reltionships before they left might have ended up going through.

When they were on duty they found out that their wives/girlfriends had an affair and ended up becoming pregnant with someone else's baby.

Even though these soldiers know that the baby isn't their's they'll take care of it anyway (Your tiny hands were cold, but I wanted you anyway) and they're promising to take care of the baby no matter what happens (and I'll waste away, but I'll make sure you don't).
