T Bone Burnett - When the Night Falls lyrics

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 [Chorus] 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 who*es 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 [Chorus] 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 my stairs To my dark hotel room Through the litter of Sunday newspapers [Chorus] I'm so lonely I'm so lonely
