Why Is the Night Sad

Why is the night sad?
Why is the night so sad?
You can blame it on what's in your glass
But I know it's the night that makes you sad

This house can't stand the storm
And you know that you're not safe here
Through any crack in the floor
The water pours

Why is the night cold?
It grabs your heart and won't let go
You can blame it on the fresh laid snow
But I know it's the night that makes us cold

It's at night that you feel all alone
And the past begins to reclaim you
What you're lost makes itself known
Yes, I know

Why is the night sad?
Why is the night so sad?
I know it doesn't help to ask
But why is the night so sad?
