When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky

[Verse 1] Look out across the fields, see me returning 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 [Verse 2] Well, I’ve walked two hundred miles, now look me over It’s 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] 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 you to set yourself up for a fall [Verse 6] 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 [Verse 7] 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 [Verse 8] 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 [Verse 9] Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter But you were gambling for support This time tomorrow I’ll know you better When my memory is not so short [Verse 10] 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
