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

'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, I'm so lonely

As I walk past the theaters and stores

And the whores 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

'Cause when the night falls, it falls on me

And when the day breaks, I'm in pieces

And I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely

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

'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

I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely

I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely, so lonely
