The sun is fading o'er the hills
Like the sugar on your tongue
The nightwings fly, the baby Christ
Now that the day is done
Shadows of a lifetime
Spill across the sky
I turn to you and hold you tight
Tonight's the night we die
My love, my life so long we stood
Together you and I
But now it's time for us to leave
Tonight's the night we die
Tonight's the night we die
Tonight's the night we die
I can hear the siren
It wanders through the firs
It's somewhere deep beneath the gra**
A cemetery stirs
Shadows of a lifetime
Spill across the sky
I turn to you and hold you tight
Tonight's the night we die
A place of calm, a place of peace
As we go by and by
I pull you close, it's time to go
Tonight's the night we die
The first and last, all things must pa**
I'm glad you're coming with me
We've been together for so long
I hope you will forgive me
I hope you will forgive me
I hope you will forgive me
