When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky

When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky

Smoke is in your eye, 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


It's the end of the chase and the moon is high


It wont 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.




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 never asked you for nothing that you couldn't deliver


I've never asked you 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


When you were gambling for support


This time tomorrow I'll know you better


When 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.
