The Lonely Night

Here come the lonely night
I can't escape my mind

From a broken bough, fall into finite space
With the roof torn down, this house is an empty place
So tired of wandering around and starting over
No garden grows here now, just the one-leaf clover
And when the windows shuttered, it's always dark inside
Sometimes the pain is absurd, still it's what fate decides (fate decides)

Thought I saw Jesus come down dressed like a soldier
I used to cry like a clown, and now I'm older

Here come the lonely night
Can't escape my mind
Here come the lonely night
Can't escape my mind

And the grinding wheel turns and the heavens burn (heavens burn)
As the pilot ignites is a lesson learned
A sullen look of concern, it might make you sad
Like the fluttering bird in a dream you had

See the vanishing act into the thinnest air
See the stitch in my heart has been frayed together
So tired of wanderin' around and starting over
With a graveyard stare and a one-leaf clover (just a one leaf clover)

Here come the lonely night
I can't escape my mind (I can't escape my mind)
Here come the lonely night
Can't escape my mind (I can't escape my mind)

I saw Jesus come down dressed like a soldier
Once I cried like a clown, now I'm older

Here come the lonely night (here come the lonely night)
Can't escape my mind (can't escape my mind)
Here come the lonely night
I can't escape my mind
