CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT by Snowgeese

James Michael Taylor

This is the original recording of this song from their 1976 Feathers In The Wind LP.
CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT Key G (open G tuning GGDGBD)

They’re flying in from miles around - C
They circle and they settle down – Bm
They sit and feel the world go round with you – Am - G
They come to share the night with you
They sit. They stare. That’s what they do
They’ve come to share the light with you

*When the sun begins to shine 5 - 1
They’ll be leaving you behind 3 - 4
Where do they go? Where do they go? 1 - 5

Fuzzy, chocolate, striped, white
Peaches, pickles, humpbacks might
Be leaving you but how they love the light
Angel wings and butterflies
Because the caterpillar dies
That old designer, how he tries for you…*

Red and yellow, black and white
All are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT
Red and yellow, black and white
All are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the Children of the Light…*

Tiny bodies left behind.
You know their mama doesn’t mind
Because it’s spider feeding time
Eight legs, six legs, five or four
One, two, three and sometimes more
Left there in the painted door for you…*

Shoos out the night
All your fuzzy friends take flight
Where do they go? They’re out of sight
They’ll be back when the sun goes down
Just leave a little light around
They will return without a sound for you…*
