The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads itself against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
It's just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Is staring me blind
God bid this yesterday goodbye
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
The evening spreads itself against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
It's just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Is staring me blind
God bid this yesterday goodbye
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Couldn't stand another hour of daylight

For me, Reggatta De Blanc is also a great example of how an album cover is able to fit in the general mood of the record. The grim, bluish overtones of the (rather simplistic) cover immediately remind one both of the 'night' ('Bring On The...') and of the 'moon' ('Walking On The...'). This is not a depressing or a morose record at all, yet it always gives the feeling of something slightly otherworldly - and yet it is not exactly sci-fi rock. The Police certainly take off, but they don't go very far - they're not Syd Barrett and they're not even Brian Eno. They are floating in mid-air, waving their hands (and drumsticks) at you, inviting you to take a walk on the moon or something like that. And the major highlights of the album make even the simpler and more realistic songs on here acquire that 'mystical bluish tint'. [George Starostin]
You said it well. <br /> I also felt that way about the graphic style of the album cover but you really put it into words. I love how the bass, drums, rhythm/lead guitars and voice all flow together in this song in an easy yet sorrow-tinged wash of sound...
Beautifully written, my friend
