The Night Comes Down Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
When I was young it came to me
And I could see the sun breaking
Lucy was high and so was I
Dazzling, holding the world inside
Once I believed in everyone
Everyone and anyone can see
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh-oh, the night comes down
Ooh, and it's dark again
[Verse 2]
Once I could laugh with everyone
Once I could see the good in me
The black and the white distinctively
Colouring, holding the world inside
Now all the world is grey to me
Nobody can see
You gotta believe it
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh-oh, the night comes down
Oooh, and it's dark again
And it's dark again
And it's dark again
[Bass Solo Outro]
