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
I'm waiting for the night
to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity
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
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
I'm waiting for the night
to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity
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
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
Been waiting for the night
to fall
I knew that it would save us all
Now everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
Been waiting for the night
to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you feel is tranquility
