Police - Bring On The Night lyrics

Words and music by Sting

The afternoon has gently passed me by

The evening spreads its sail against the sky

Waiting for tomorrow

Just another day

God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night

I couldn't spend another hour of daylight

Bring on the night

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark

Hangs above my head there in the dark

Can't see for the brightness

Is staring me blind

God bid yesterday goodbye

Bring on the night

I couldn't spend another hour of daylight

Bring on the night

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

Bring on the night

I couldn't spend another hour of daylight

Bring on the night

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

(repeat and fade)
