Look out across the fieldssee me returning
Smoke is in your eyeyou draw a smile.
From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning
You ve had time to think about it for a while.
WellI ve walked two hundred milesnow 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 itlove
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 buckI ve watched them die.
Stick aroundbabywe re not through
Don t look for meI ll see you
When the night comes falling from the sky.
In your teardropsI 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.
WellI 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.
