Night & Day
Quintorigo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like the beat beat beat of the tom tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall

Like the drip drip drop of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, You, You night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and Night, night and day, why is it so

That this longing for you
Follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night, night and day

Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry
Yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my




Life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
