| 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 |
