Waiting for the Night

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
