Night Falls Lyrics

Time has shown its face
Too many words, too many hopes
And too much we've learned
And life won't wait in comfortable chairs
You look so bleak without a care
Sometimes her eyes close before nightfall
And sometimes my eyes close before nightfall
Cancer calls
Dancing on the seams
Leaves from a tree
All that fades and all that we feed
And I can be brave if you can be bare
Stripping the life and taking what's there
Sometimes her eyes close before nightfall
Take these wings and learn to fly
Hold these eyes which never cry
Watch on me just like a child
Sometimes my eyes close

And sometimes her eyes close before nightfall
Cancer calls
