The Lonely Night (feat. Mark Lanegan)

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
