The singer sings a song and stirs your memory to tears
It happens once or twice, then it disappears
But this time the emptiness hangs on like the music of his lonely song
Caught up in the rythym of a heart that's torn with pain
The melody that haunts you drives you back and forth again
The light that guides you home burns low
And the twilight helps your fears to grow
As the night draws near the fading sky makes the darkness wake
And it falls so hard you wonder if the light will break
Sadness falls like the night
It cannot see the coming of the light
Maybe you don't like the way the world is going 'round
Everywhere you look life is coming down
Straining just to stay on track, hoping you can make it back
Used to be a time you could hid in daddy's arms
Now, it seems you're on your own afflicted by life's harms
Doesn't help to run away
'cause everywhere you go they stay
As the night draws near the fading sky makes the darkness wake
And it falls so hard you wonder if the light will ever break
Sadness falls like the night
It cannot see the coming of the light
