Look out across the fields, see me returning
|
Smoke is in your eyes, you draw a smile
|
From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning
|
You’ve had time to think about it for a while
|
Well, I’ve walked two hundred miles, look me over
|
Its the end of the chase and the moon is high
|
It won’t matter who loves who
|
You’ll love me or I’ll love you
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling from the sky
|
I can see through your walls and I know you’re hurting
|
Sorrow covers you up like a cape
|
Only yesterday I know that you’ve been flirting
|
With disaster you somehow managed to escape
|
Well, I can’t provide for you no easy answers
|
Who are you that I should have to lie
|
You’ll know all about it, love
|
It’ll fit you like a glove
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling from the sky
|
I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river
|
You must have been protecting someone last time I called
|
I’ve never asked you for nothing that you couldn’t deliver
|
I’ve never asked to set yourself up for a fall
|
I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness
|
For the love of a lousy buck, I’ve watched them die
|
Stick around, baby, we’re not through
|
Don’t look for me, I’ll see you
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling from the sky
|
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
|
It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line
|
I don’t want to be a fool starving for affection
|
I don’t want to drown in someone else’s wine
|
For all eternity I think I will remember
|
That icy wind that’s howling in your eye
|
You will seek me and you’ll find
|
Me in the wasteland of your mind
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling from the sky
|
Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter
|
But you were gambling for support
|
This time tomorrow I’ll know you better
|
Where my memory is not so short
|
This time I’m asking for freedom
|
Freedom from a world which you deny
|
And you’ll give it to me now
|
I’ll take it anyhow
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling
|
When the night comes falling from the sky |
