When the night comes fallin' from the sky
With disaster you somehow managed to escape
For all eternity I think I will remember
I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness
You will seek me and you'll find me
When the night comes fallin'
It won't matter who loves who
I can hear your tremblin' heart beat like a river
I can see through your walls and I know you're hurting
Stick around, baby, we're not through
When the night comes fallin'
This time tomorrow I'll know you better
When the night comes fallin'
You'll know all about it, love
Freedom from a world which you deny
When you were gamblin' for support
This time I'm askin' for freedom
When the night comes fallin'
I've never asked you to set yourself up for a fall
When the night comes fallin'
When my memory is not so short
I'll take it anyhow
Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter
In the wasteland of your mind
When the night comes fallin' from the sky
For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched them die
When the night comes fallin'
You must have been protecting someone, last time I called
I don't wanna drown in someone else's wine
When the night comes fallin'
When the night comes fallin'
That icy wind that's howlin' in your eye
It's the end of the chase and the moon is high
And you'll give it to me now
Who are you that I should have to lie?
When the night comes fallin' from the sky
It'll fit you like a glove
Only yesterday I know that you've been flirting
When the night comes fallin'
Well, I've walked two hundred miles, look me over
You love me or I love you
I've never asked you for nothin' that you couldn't deliver
Sorrow covers you up like a cape
From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning
You've had time to think about it for a while
It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line
Don't look for me, I'll see you
I don't wanna be a fool starving for affection
Well, I can't provide for you no easy answers
When the night comes fallin' from the sky
When the night comes fallin'
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
