[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears

And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things looked even better than when they were opened
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Been waiting for the night to fall
I knew that it will save us all
Now everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity
