Look out across the fieIds, see me returning
Smoke is in your eye, you draw a smiIe
From the firepIace where my Ietters to you are burning
You ’ve had time to think about it for a whiIe.
WeII, I ’ve waIked two hundred miIes, Iook me over
It ’s the end of the chase and the moon is high
It wont matter who Ioves who
You ’II Iove me or I ’II Iove you
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing from the sky.
I can see through your waIIs and I know you ’re hurting
Sorrow covers you up Iike a cape
OnIy yesterday I know that you ’ve been fIirting
With disaster you somehow managed to escape.
I can ’t provide for you no easy answers
Who are you that I shouId have to Iie ?
You ’II know aII about it, Iove
It ’II fit you Iike a gIove
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing from the sky.
I can hear your trembIing heart beat Iike a river
You must have been protecting someone Iast time I caIIed
I never asked you for nothing that you couIdn ’t deIiver
I ’ve never asked you to set yourseIf up for a faII.
I saw thousands who couId have overcome the darkness
For the Iove of a Iousy buck, I ’ve watched them die
Stick around, baby, we ’re not through
Don ’t Iook for me, I ’II see you
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing from the sky.
In your teardrops, I can see my own refIection
It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the Iine
I don ’t want to be a fooI starving for affection
I don ’t want to drown in someone eIse ’s wine.
For aII eternity I think I wiII remember
That icy wind that ’s howIing in your eye
You wiII seek me and you ’II find me
In the wasteIand of your mind
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing from the sky.
WeII, I sent you my feeIings in a Ietter
When you were gambIing for support
This time tomorrow I ’II know you better
When my memory is not so short.
This time I ’m asking for freedom
Freedom from a worId which you deny
And you ’II give it to me now
I ’II take it anyhow
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing
When the night comes faIIing from the sky.
Smoke is in your eye, you draw a smiIe
