Concrete Blonde is an alternative rock band dating from the early 1980s to the early 1990s (and re-formed again in the 2000s). They are best known for the poignant songwriting and vocals of Johnette Napolitano.
Singer / songwriter / bassist Napolitano formed the band Dream 6 with guitarist James Mankey in Los Angeles in 1982, releasing an eponymous EP in France on the Happy Hermit label in 1983. When they signed with IRS in 1986, labelmate Michael Stipe suggested the name Concrete Blonde

Like a ghost, is a curtain, in the white light of the morning Dancing, in the morning, are you there… are you there And a shadow, like a sadness, falling all across the garden Dancing, in the garden, are you there are you there.
Shine on friend, good… night, why… then The darkening of the light
~Interlude~ Am, Em, G, F x 2 with strings playing the root notes
And the leaves, at my feet, whisper songs so familiar Whisper, so familiar, are you there are you there Where the clouds, pull apart, where the moon, changes faces In the quiet, secret places, are you there, are you there
Shine on friend, good… night, why… then The darkening of the light
Solo (Rhyme playing 4 times)
