You’re a setting sun
Ever on the run
And there’s thing’s you’ve done
That won’t leave you alone
The weight you’ve grown
Solid as stone
Has put down below
Everyone you know
But 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 around
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
