Lyrics
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquility
[Verse 1]
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]
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
[Chorus]
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquility
[Verse 2]
There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear
[Bridge]
And when I squinted, the world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise, with half-closed eyes
Things looked even better than when they were open
[Chorus]
Been waiting for the night to fall (Night to fall)
I knew that it would save us all (Save us all)
Now everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark
Reality
[Chorus]
Been waiting for the night to fall (Night to fall)
Now everything is bearable (Bearable)
And here in the still
All that you feel
Is tranquility
