When Di Night Know Yuh Name

Intro

Yeah... yeah...

Moon rise...

Bass low...

Something moving where the wild vines grow...

Verse 1

Midnight settle pon di old dirt road (pon di road)

Bunny hear a rhythm where di shadows grow (where di shadows grow)

Leaves start shaking though di wind nah dere

Cold li'l whisper floating through di air

She keep on walking with her ears held high

Silver moon hanging like a watchful eye

Every step she take make di silence break

Deeper she go an' di forest wake

Pre-Chorus

Night time crawling through her skin again

Calling out her name like a long lost friend

Chorus

When di night know yuh name

Yuh can never walk di same

Hear di drums beneath di ground

Feel di darkness gathering 'round

When di night know yuh name

Nothing ever stay di same

So let di bassline pull yuh through

Di shadows already know yuh

Verse 2

Lantern burning by an abandoned tree (abandoned tree)

Something in di darkness still watching me (watching me)

Rabbit tracks disappear into di rain

Den reappear pon di road again

She hear three knocks from di cabin door

But nobody living dere anymore

She laugh real soft "Nice try, night"

Den di moon slip out of sight

Pre-Chorus

Night time crawling through her skin again

Echo every whisper dat dah ebb an' bend

Chorus

When di night know yuh name

Yuh can never walk di same

Hear di drums beneath di ground (beneath di ground)

Feel di darkness gathering 'round

When di night know yuh name

Nothing ever stay di same (stay di same)

So let di bassline pull yuh through

Di shadows already know yuh

Breakdown

Low... low...

Let di rhythm creep

Slow... slow...

Something losing sleep

One hop...

Two hop...

Heartbeat keeping time

Three steps deeper...

Crossing dat line

Bridge

Di moon di moon di moon hold steady

Blood run cool when yuh di ready

Every footprint dat she leave behind

Is a mark dat dis night align

Verse 3

Dawn a-waiting somewhere past di trees (past di trees)

But di darkness whisper through di leaves

Bunny turn wid a knowing grin

"Guess tonight where di story begin"

Di drums get louder di moon burn bright

She disappear into di velvet night

Only li'l footprints remain in di rain (in di rain)

An' a distant voice softly call her name

Final Chorus

When di night know yuh name

Yuh can never walk di same

Let di bassline shake di ground (shake di ground)

Let di midnight pull yuh 'round

When di night know yuh name

Dance inside di pouring rain

Nuh look back just follow through

Di darkness know

An' it know yuh

Outro

Yeah... yeah...

Moon fade...

Bass slow...

Li'l bunny gone where di wild vines grow...

Hop... hop...

Into di night
