Look out across the fields, see me returnin’  
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  
It’s the end of the chase and the moon is high  
It won’t matter who loves who  
You love me or I love you
 
When the night comes fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’ 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 fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’ from the sky
 
I can hear your tremblin’ heart beat like a river  
You must have been protecting someone, last time I called  
I’ve never asked you for nothin’ that 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 fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’ 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 wanna be a fool starving for affection  
I don’t wanna drown in someone else’s wine
 
For all eternity I think I will remember  
That icy wind that’s howlin’ in your eye  
You will seek me and you’ll find me  
In the wasteland of your mind
 
When the night comes fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’ from the sky
 
Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter  
When you were gamblin’ for support  
This time tomorrow I’ll know you better  
When my memory is not so short
 
This time I’m askin’ 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 fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’  
When the night comes fallin’ from the sky.
