Country lyrics with blues guitar and a rock backbone.
Story behind the song
Bob was into writing country lyrics. Guess I heard it a little differently.
Lyrics
Prisoner Of The Night
Words & Music by Bob Aubert/John Hanberry
I'm a prisoner of the night
Locked in the silence of my room
I been waitin' for you all night
Prayin' for light to ease the gloom.
I close my eyes and the night screams
Daylight disappears,
This is not a dream
I know you hold the key
Make the night let go of me (Prisoner Of The Night)
Please make the night let go of me (Prisoner Of The Night)
I'm a prisoner of the night
Lost in the sadness of my tune
And I been waitin' for you in spite
You're like a rose too cold to bloom.
I close my eyes to the bright beams
Stabbing through the darkness echo in my screams,
Please come back to me,
Make the night let go of me (Prisoner Of The Night)
Please make the night let go of me (Prisoner Of The Night)
[Bridge]
Made a captive at the order of your highness
Waitin' for my pardon to come through
Might make the border, but I'm just to tired to try
Yes I'm dyin' in this living hell
There's nothin' I can do.
'Cause I'm a prisoner of the night
(solo)
I close my eyes to the night screams
Madness reappears
Sneakin' up unseen
You got to set me free
Make the night let go of me (Prisoner Of The Night)
Please make the night let go of me (Prisoner Of The Night)
You got to make the night let go of me (Prisoner Of The Night)
Make the night, make the night let go of me (Prisoner Of The Night)
Oh you've got to make the night…
