Lyrics

Dark is the Night for All

It's time we said goodbye

Time now to decide

Oh, don't you feel so small?

Dark is the night for all

It's time we moved out west

This time will be the best

And when your evenings fall

Dark is the night for all

It's time, yeah, to break free

It's time to pull away for you and me

Come on now, to break free

It's time, yeah, to break free

We need to celebrate the mystery

It's time we said goodbye

Time now to decide

Oh, don't you feel so small?

Dark is the night for all
