When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky (Alternate Take)

You can look out across the fields, see me returning

Smoke is in your eye, you draw a smile

From the fireplace where all my letters to you are burning

You've had time to think about it for a while

I walked 200 miles, now look me over

It's the end of the chase and the moon is high

It don't matter who loves who

Either you love me or I 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 somehow managed to escape

Oh, well I can't provide for you no easy answer

Who are you that I should have to lie?

You'll know everything, my love

That my love heads up above

When the night comes falling from the sky

I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river

But recently, you've got to seen it all

But you're disappointed now with those who did not deliver

But it was you who set yourself up for a fall

I've seen 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

Luck was with me when I crossed the border line

I don't wanna be a fool that's starving for affection

I don't wanna drown in someone else's wine

For all eternity I think I will remember

That world full of laugh that's 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 gave to you my heart, that's fair intention

Suffering seem to fit you like a glove

I'm so tired of those who use you for their own pleasure

When my memory is not so short

Well, this time I'm asking for freedom

Freedom from a world that you denied

And you give it to me now, I'll take it anyhow
