From the recording Gypsy Wagon Man
Lyrics
Wrap Up in the Night (Capo 2nd fret, partial capo 4th 5,4,3 in F#)
F#5 (A string run-E-Eflat)
See these people on the train, Baby. They’re just trying to get home.
But we’re going the other way, Baby. We’re gonna gnaw it to the bone.
They want to crawl into their beds, Baby. They want to cover up.
We want to shine like golden neon , Baby, till the sun comes up.
F#maj7sus2 B
When we find a cataclysm that feels just right
F#5
We’re gonna wrap up in the night. Wrap up in the night.
This rain makes the people scatter, Baby. They zip their coats up high.
The lightning makes their fear shiver, Baby. They run from the light.
We’ll turn our face up to the thunder, Baby. Taste of heaven falling down, down, down
We’ll find a gutter overflowing, Baby. We’ll let our troubles all drown, drown, drown.
Refrain
We’ll walk right past the smooth jazz clubs Baby, past karaoke country rock.
We’ll go way down to where the poets feed, Baby, on ink and break the locks.
We’ll write our way onto a stage, Baby. We’ll scream and curse the fates.
We’ll take that candle down the trapdoor, Baby. We won’t even hesitate.
Refrain
F#sus2sus4 Bsus2,5 F#
And when the cobalt cape of the morning comes.
We’ll know we’ve been spared another kingdom come.
When the frenzy fades I’ll just hold you tight.
F#sus2sus4 F#maj7sus2
We’ll share a kiss wrapped up in the night.
F#5 (A string run-E-Eflat)
Wrapped up in the night.
Wrap up in the night.
Wrap up in the night.
