The night

Well, here comes the night
It's dark shadows passing over me
I've been feeling the chill
Ever since you been gone
I'm thinking of you, girl
Wondering if you're going
To return to me
Or was it a waste of time
All we've been through
When I'm all alone
I don't have someone I can run to
Baby, I ain't got no place to go
Don't you know that the night
Keeps moving on (keeps moving on)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
(Always too long) I keep
Looking over my shoulder
The night, I pray for the dawn
(Pray for the dawn)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
Baby, you're gone
We could start again
If only you would
Reach out and touch me, baby
Like a blind man
I feel you deep down inside
I'm over the edge
I'm sorry I hurt
You so badly, girl
The things that I said
Just cannot be denied
When I'm waiting here
Hoping that someday you'll
Return to me cause, baby
Feel like I'm losing control
Don't you know that the night
Keeps moving on (keeps moving on)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
(Always too long) I keep
Looking over my shoulder
The night, I pray for the dawn
(Pray for the dawn)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
Baby, you're gone
My mind's running wild
I feel like a child
Who's been lost again
You've stolen my heart
Captured my soul
Don't you know that the night
Keeps moving on (keeps moving on)
It keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
(Always too long) Keeps
Getting colder and colder
The night, I pray for the dawn
(Pray for the dawn)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, I pray for the dawn
Yeah, the night, the night
(Keeps moving on)
Yeah, colder and colder
The night, always too long
(Always too long) it keeps
Getting colder and colder
The night, keep moving on
(Pray for the dawn) keep
Looking over my shoulder
The night, it's always too long
The night
