Night After Night

Say farewell and kiss the life goodbye
It's ended 'cause no one here can tell
They let it pass them by
The stolen tears they cry

They send it every waking hour
That keeps you away in some other place
Every weeping flower to touch your face
Makes you dream of long forgotten songs
From where you belong

Night after night when the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come

Things don't change but in some other life
Well, maybe it wouldn't be so strange
To question what feels right
There's nothing black or white

It's crazy and when the heaven's fall
The father and son and the holy ghost
They're, they're up against the wall
They'll cry the most, you shoot them down
And treasure each new day, find no other way

Night after night when the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come

No desert sun burns brighter
No wind could blow as strong
No chains will hold you tighter
Or carry you along

Night after night when the devil's come closer
Shadows appear on the run
Well, you hope and you pray
You can't wait till it's over
Angels of mercy won't come
