Lyric When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky

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.

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 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 that you 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 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 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 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 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
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 from the sky.
