Lyrics

This is the Night (Live)

[Verse 1]

I'm scared of the things I think of

When night comes along

Something gets hold of me

Something I can't see

[Chorus]

Oh, it's a wicked world

Awaits the ones our young girls bear

Oh, I need somebody to hold me

In the fading light

Of this coming night

In the fading light

Of this coming night

[Verse 2]

How many whores have walked through that door

Lain by my side and climbed in my mind

And taken me down to where the heat

Blisters the skin upon my feet?

Makes me reach out and weep

For the days when I was pure of heart

And slept in peace

[Chorus]

Oh, it's a wicked world

Awaits the ones our young girls bear

Oh, I need somebody to hold me

In the fading light

Of this coming night

In the fading light

This coming night

[Outro]

In the fading light

Of this coming night

In the fading light

This is the night
