When the Night Falls

Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
As the night falls, as the sun starts to sink And the street lights blink on the town's yawning I climb down my stairs to the empty avenue And follow my shadow till morning 'Cause when the night falls, it falls on me And when the day breaks, I'm in pieces When the night falls, it falls on me And I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely As I walk past the theaters and stores And the whores that now work where we first met I want to hold you so bad that it hurts And it only gets worse when the sun sets 'Cause when the night falls, it falls on me And when the day breaks, I'm in pieces When the night falls, it falls on me And I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely And then I see you and call out your name But down the street you keep walking away And when I reach you A stranger looks over her shoulder then it starts all over Now the moon is a thin silver line Disappearing behind a skyscraper And I climb my stairs to my dark hotel room Through the litter of Sunday newspapers 'Cause when the night falls, it falls on me And when the day breaks, I'm in pieces When the night falls, it falls on me And I'm so lonely I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely, so lonely
