Grace Potter And The Nocturnals - One Short Night Lyrics






One short night with a stranger
One full moon over my head
One false move and it's over
So I always think of what we said, my baby

Strange how heavy my heart is
Strange how dark it is tonight
Strange the way this all started
I guess I'm losing track of wrong and right

And as the lights go dim
I lie down with him
And as I'm lying there
I can only smell your hair

It's like your across the hall
With your ear glued to the wall
And as I move to let him in I can
Feel you crawl under my skin

And I can feel you from the inside
Prowling like a devil that I try to hide
I can feel your heart beating
Closer than the poison of my pride

Caught up in a moment
I thought I'd feel no shame because I
Didn't have tell you lies
When the daylight came but now
Down goes that silver tear
Down goes my golden year
Down we go in a water slide
That's made up of the tears I've cried

And I can feel you from the inside
Prowling like a devil that I try to hide
I can feel your heart beating
Closer than the poison of my pride

I can feel you, you're touching me
I look at him but it's you I see, baby
I can feel your heart beating
Closer than the poison of my pride

One short night
One short night

    I've always said about singers in general that if you've never heard of them, it must mean they're pretty damn good.

    "feel you touching me I look at him, but it's you I see..."

    This is a great record.  GPN's progression from Original Soul has been one of my all time favorite musical rides.

  26. P.... ....

    The Noc's & GraCe what a perrrrrrrrrrrfect Group Of Musician's!!!!

  27. l.... ....

    I love the editing of this video- the switch between acoustic and the concert performance is seamless.

  28. J.... ....

    ...and The Pretenders.

  29. J.... D....

    Intro is G and Em with a capo on the 5th. There are some C's D's and Am's thrown in there too.

  30. J.... D....

    I can't stop watching this!!!

  31. J.... J....

    chords?

  32. M.... M....

    That's funny. I used to explain them to people like Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner and Janis Joplin had a love child in "One Short Night".

  33. J.... J....

    love it ♥

  34. B.... B....

    Love it <3

  35. C.... J....

    there's something so hypnotizing about this song and it's not the lyrics...i <3 GPN.

  36. B.... S....

    Such raw perfection. Best musicians ever...this would be a dream of mine, to be so fantastic and to be surrounded by such artistry. Inspiring...check out my version of Stars in my videos if so inclined.

  37. P.... L....

    wish this song was all acoustic I could live without the jump over to the live clip .. Is there a full acoustic version ??

  38. C.... H....

    where is the on-stage version from???

  39. a.... s....

    soulful

  40. J.... C....

    Me and my cat r soooo rocking out to this song

  41. J.... C....

    I luv cathrine popper's haircut

  42. d.... ....

    Must have been a diseased chicken that laid the gaga egg, I can tell you that much.

  43. I.... ....

    Love this video. So cool to see the transition from acoustic living room recording to the live stage recording.

  44. S.... P....

    ...I don't know who you are....but thank you for that. PERFECT analogy.

  45. J.... ....

    Grace Potter and Jack Johnson??? Some day??? i hope

  46. J.... ....

    I think you need to add Janis Joplin to that orgy ;) haha

  47. J.... T....

    Great acoustic, singing, and the pure music than today's music.

  48. s.... s....

    love this song pure rock and roll

  49. s.... s....

    my new fav this should make all the girl singers rethink thier acts grace is smokin

  50. s.... ....

    I love this strip down acoustic versions best. It is so raw and pure music. Grace and her band are so great. Love it!!!!!
    Enjoy Life! Keep Jammin!

  51. e.... ....

    I love her, I LOVE her, I LOVE HER!!!, Seriously, I can't understand why this isn't the most popular band in America.

  52. j.... ....

    @jeslinc77 excuse me 2004.

  53. j.... ....

    @nizzaman1963 they are not really a new band. they've been around since at least 2005. but yes they sound amazing.

  54. A.... B....

    It is so refreshing to see a newer artist be able to sit down with her band, mostly acoustically, and sound AMAZING. You are truly a good change to something familiar.

  55. M.... R....

    These guys make me wanna turn all hippie and go hitch across the country...

  56. J.... J....

    Why does this song resonate so? Never cheated on anyone! It's just so damn human...

  57. D.... M....

    One of my favorite things to do is to play my guitar along with these cranked-up videos, and this one always makes my ass dance (especially right @1:51 ) . It's a really easy song to learn, but not so easy to get out of my head.
    Maybe because I don't want to get it out of my head?

  58. S.... P....

    @Adrain30 DAMN SKIPPY =D! So glad you get this =).

  59. D.... ....

    Probably one of the most musically talented band we have now-a-days.

  60. A.... ....

    This band is amazing!

  61. j.... ....

    I love the shot of the back of the band out to the crowd....that should be on a poster or a band t-shirt

  62. B.... M....

    Best live band in the U.S. today. Grace is in a small group of the best singer-songwriters today. Keep in mind that Grace writes all their material except a couple covers they do in concert. And she plays a wicked Hammond B3 organ as well as guitar, and has one of the best voices in all music. That qualifies her as one amazing talent. As Grace would say "don't call us a jam band. We're a rock n' roll band." Amen.

  63. S.... ....

    @Adrain30
    hahah....you're rambling!
    Great A/V on this tune!

  64. E.... P....

    i love her voice .......

  65. h.... ....

    she has the best voice of the last 10 years

  66. G.... J....

    @BelaLugosi1967 Yessss!!! So right on!

  67. T.... T....

    this should make lady gaga want to get back in that egg and marinate a little longer!

  68. S.... ....

    Saw Grace Live about 3-4 months ago. best Concert EVER! This band works as hard, and is as talented as any band out there, awesome show!

  69. S.... ....

    @hiberculum
    Well, let's not go too crazy....there are SO MANY great bands of Yesterday, etc, But God love Grace & the Band!!!

  70. l.... ....

    @Adrain30 love that spirit .. that's when it sounds good , when it's real.. :)

  71. S.... H....

    @jasonrodsons I always describe GPATN sound as "Heart & Fleetwood Mac had an orgy with The Black Crowes... then 9 months later GPATN were born"... hahahaha

  72. N.... L....

    Perhaps others will follow wake up a sleeping giant.

  73. L.... ....

    I love this band! I'm glad theres someone out there that still makes music like this :)

  74. P.... ....

    I still absolutly love this video... no matter what... it never fades on me.
    GPN fan forever...

  75. k.... ....

    Those 5 people have no soul.

  76. j.... ....

    jam band!

  77. 2.... ....

    I love her look here. don't get me wrong i like her look now, like in Paris (ooh la la). But I think it's the down to earth, pure rock n roll talent look she has in this video. It's more refreshing and i think about her voice, and the lyrics more. She's and that band are awesome!

  78. A.... P....

    How can one band make so much good music????

  79. r.... ....

    down home jammin like the grateful dead their music is their own but more in the way that their a jam band more than n e thing true artist glad 2 see good music an real music

  80. S.... ....

    @ArisBates
    check out a few more vids,or maybe actually leave your house and see a show, and then post back. You haven't seen anything yet! - They're not plain at all

  81. k.... ....

    What DVD is this from?

  82. I.... t....

    there good-- but just a lil to plain for todays time

  83. C.... ....

    A day does not go by without Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

  84. h.... ....

    @ktb240 Cdur

  85. k.... ....

    @msu65 when i play it capoed at 5 fret playing all the chords. It doesn't sound right still. I think she is using an open tuning.. maybe

  86. k.... ....

    DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT TUNING SHE IS IN. I figured out the chord shapes but when played with the song it doesn't sound quite right... Help Please : )

  87. k.... ....

    The sound they have in this video and the way she sings this song is superior to the album version.
    What a great Band!

  88. P.... ....

    Wait, now I get the lyrics...

  89. h.... ....

    best band ever^^

    Grace Potter and Nocturnals FTW!!!!!!!!

  90. P.... ....

    I have this DVD in my computer right now ;)

  91. V.... j....

    @OakBluffer you have to remember they are ( at heart) a Jam band...that is what makes them so good. so she is going wail..and it's great!. anything less would not be Grace. I get that you may not like a jam type band and like when she is restrained ( like other artists) but they are unique in that, they do let loose.

  92. A.... M....

    @therocketapple Strange how things like that don't relate at all but people and machines are still weird and think, if you like Frank Sinatra you'll love Metallica.

  93. W.... D....

    Really digging this video.

  94. d.... ....

    How the hell does this relate to Wilco??

  95. N.... T....

    what gailkiefer said . .

  96. M.... R....

    not wilco......seriously

  97. b.... ....

    how the hell is this typical sound going to be related to fleet foxes whatsoever

  98. E.... B....

    needs more cowbell

  99. I.... ....

    hey, soren... you suck.
