Know the Night

You're a setting sun

Ever on the run

And there's things you've done

That won't leave you alone

The weight you've grown

Solid as stone

Has put down below

Everyone you know

You know the night

Where've your days gone?

Kept you out alone where you can't know them at all

'Cause you know the night

Everyone in town

Wants to see you sound

But what you have found

Is water in your hand

And you think you can

Make yourself a plan

Then the flames get fanned

Burning down the land

You know the night

Where's your baby gone?

Left him by the phone and you can't pick up the call

'Cause you know the night

And you'd like to get gone

Far from where you're from

But you know you can't run

You know the night

Crying on the floor

Closing all your doors when you know you need more

You know the night

But you need the day

You're hearing what they say, still, you're turning away

'Cause you know the night

You know the night
