the lonely night

here come the lonely night, i can't escape my mind, from a broken bough, fall into finite space, with the roof torn down, this house is an empty place, so tired of wandering around and starting over, no garden grows here now just the one leaf clover, and when the windows shuttered, it's always dark inside, sometimes the pain is absurd, still it's what fate decides, thought i saw jesus come down, dressed like a soldier, i used to cry like a clown, and now i'm older, here come the lonely night, can't escape my mind, and the grinding wheel turns, and the heavens burn, as the pilot ignites is a lesson learned, a sullen look of concern, it might make you sad, like the fluttering bird in a dream you had, here come the lonely night, i can't escape my mind, i saw jesus come down, dressed like a soldier, once i cried like a clown, now i'm older, here come the lonely night, can't escape my mind
