Night Faces Lyrics

Some days are long and
Summer days are hard
I was dragging my feet across the parking lot
I remember sad faces in the mirror behind me
And I saw those blank places in the driver's seat
You know I spent a million tears trying to dig myself out all these years
And I had a hard time to get me down
No, I call you Delaney
Because the tears you rain down
And you call me lady when the chips are down

And you say 'cry no tears'
I hear you sayin'
'Cry no tears', is the refrain
'Cry no tears', again

Some days are long and
Summer days are hard
I was dragging my feet across the parking lot
I remember sad faces in the mirror behind me
And I saw those blank laces in the drivers seat
You know I spent a million tears trying to get myself out all these years
And I had a hard time to get me down
You know I call you Delaney
Because the tears that you rain down
And you call me lady when the chips are down

And you say 'cry no tears'
I hear you sayin'
'Cry no tears', is the refrain
'Cry no tears', again

Some days are long and 
Summer days are hard
I was dragging my feet across the parking lot
I remember sad faces in the mirror behind me
And I saw those blank places in the driver's seat
You know I spent a million tears trying to dig myself out all these years
And I had a hard time to get me down
No, I call you Delaney
Because the tears you rain down
And you call me lady when the chips are down

And you say 'cry no tears'
I hear you sayin'
'Cry no tears', is the refrain 
'Cry no tears', again

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 wish there were more of her lyrics up here, or on the internet in general.

Is the laces/places thing right? Unclear.
