When
The Night Comes Falling From The Sky- Bob Dylan
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 burnin'
You've had time to think about it for a while.
Well, i've walked two hundred miles, look me over
Its the end of the chase an' the moon is high
It won't matter who loves who
You'll love me or i'll 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 an' i know you're hurtin'
Sorrow covers you up like a cape
Only yesterday i know that you've been flirtin'
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 trembling heart beat like a river
You must have been protectin' someone last time i called
I've never asked you for nothing that you couldn't deliver
I've never asked 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 want to be a fool starving for affection
I don't want to 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 an' 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
But you were gamblin' for support
This time tomorrow i'll know you better
Where my memory is not so short.
This time i'm askin' for freedom
Freedom from a world which you deny
An' 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
