When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky

You can look out across the fields, see me returning
Smoke is in your eye, you draw a smile
From the fireplace where all my letters to you are burning
You've had time to think about it for a while

I walked 200 miles, now look me over
It's the end of the chase and the moon is high
It don't matter who loves who
Either you love me or I love you
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 that you somehow managed to escape

Oh, well I can't provide for you no easy answer
Who are you that I should have to lie?
You'll know everything, my love
That my love heads up above
When the night comes falling from the sky

I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river
But recently, you've got to seen it all
But you're disappointed now with those who did not deliver
But it was you who set yourself up for a fall

I've seen 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 from the sky

In your teardrops I can see my own reflection
Luck was with me when I crossed the border line
I don't wanna be a fool that's starving for affection
I don't wanna drown in someone else's wine

For all eternity I think I will remember
That world full of laugh that's in your eye
You will seek me and you'll find me in the wasteland of your mind
When the night comes falling from the sky

Well, I gave to you my heart, that's fair intention
Suffering seem to fit you like a glove
I'm so tired of those who use you for their own pleasure
When my memory is not so short

Well, this time I'm asking for freedom
Freedom from a world that you denied
And you give it to me now, I'll take it anyhow
When the night comes falling from the sky
