With each passing day the sounds of night go away
It used to be a time of peace, now only lights and sirens of police
Screams in the night awaken you with fright
Owls driven away and not by the day
Drained are the bogs, gone are the frogs
The television drones on, gone the night birds song
No glow of the firefly no winds lullaby
The street lights have swallowed the stars only noise of bars and cars
The voice of crickets stolen, muffled thunder rollen
A time meant for rest has become a hornets nest
But then you wouldn\'t know, you have never heard it so
As proof, have you ever heard the patter of rain on your roof ?
Night turned to day, around the clock we work and play
With nostalgia I must say, just like night and day, all things must pass away
