Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Following the path as it leads towards the darkness
In the north
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before
[Verse 2]
But if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And no, you can't delay
You hear the nightbirds calling you
But you can't catch the words they sing
Close your ears and eyes beyond your name
[Verse 3]
Mist is swelling, creatures crawling
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears
[Verse 4]
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the nightbirds calling you
But you can't catch the words they sing
Close your ears and eyes beyond your name
[Verse 5]
Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life
In every morning
Perhaps a day will come
When the nights will be as clear as on that morning
[Verse 6]
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the nightbirds calling you
But you can't catch the words they sing
Close your ears and eyes beyond your name
