Look out across the fields, see me returning
Smoke is in your eyes, 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
Its 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
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
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
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 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
But you were gambling for support
This time tomorrow I`ll know you better
Where 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
