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.
