|
As the night falls |
|
As the sun starts to sink |
|
And the street lights blink on |
|
The town's yawning |
|
I climb down my stairs |
|
To the empty avenue |
|
And follow my shadow till morning |
|
Cause when the night falls, it falls on me |
|
And when the day breaks I'm in pieces |
|
When the night falls it falls on me |
|
And I'm so lonely |
|
As I walk past |
|
The theatres and stores |
|
And the whores that now work |
|
Where we first met |
|
I want to hold you |
|
So bad that it hurts |
|
And it only gets worse when the sun sets |
|
Cause when the night falls, it falls on me |
|
And when the day breaks I'm in pieces |
|
When the night falls it falls on me |
|
And I'm so lonely |
|
And then I see you and call out your name |
|
But down the street you keep walking away |
|
And when I reach you |
|
A stranger looks over her shoulder |
|
Then it starts all over |
|
Now the moon is |
|
A thin silver line |
|
Disappearing behind |
|
A skyscraper |
|
And I climb the stairs |
|
To my dark hotel room |
|
Through the litter of Sunday newspapers |
|
Cause when the night falls, it falls on me |
|
And when the day breaks I'm in pieces |
|
When the night falls it falls on me |
|
And I'm so lonely |
|
I'm so lonely |
|
I'm so lonely |
