The Way That It Falls

Life is wonderful,

You love the days ‘til you’re dead and cold,

The pleasures lived in the light,

But I love the night, the shapes it solves

And the way that it falls, the way that it falls

And she loves everyone, so I let her burn in the sun

And then trick her into a fight,

‘Cause I love the night, the spills and squalls

And the way that it falls, the way that it falls

Falling through the morning,

Falling through all of space

To wipe the sunlight from her face

Like the shadow falling in this place

Life is wonderful,

You hog the heat ‘til the fire cools

And you hold on as though it’s your right,

And dread the night’s enclosing walls

And the way that it falls, the way that it falls
