When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky Lyrics - Empire Burlesque - Bob Dylan

Look out across the fields, see me returning 

Smoke is in your eye, you draw a smile 

From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning 

You've had time to think about it for a while 

Well, I've walked two hundred miles, now look me over 

It's the end of the chase and the moon is high 

It won't matter who loves who 

You'll love me or I'll love you 

When the night comes falling from the sky 

I can see through your walls and I know you're hurting 

Sorrow covers you up like a cape 

Only yesterday I know that you've been flirting 

With disaster that you managed to escape

I can't provide for you no easy answers 

Who are you that I should have to lie? 

You'll know all about it, love 

It'll fit you like a glove 

When the night comes falling from the sky 

I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river 

You must have been protecting someone last time I called 

I've never asked you for nothing you couldn't deliver 

I've never asked you to set yourself up for a fall 

I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness 

For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched them die 

Stick around, baby, we're not through 

Don't look for me, I'll see you 

When the night comes falling from the sky 

In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection 

It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line 

I don't want to be a fool starving for affection 

I don't want to drown in someone else's wine 

Photos 

For all eternity I think I will remember 

That icy wind that's howling in your eye 

You will seek me and you'll find me In the wasteland of your mind 

When the night comes falling from the sky 

Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter 

But you were gambling for support 

This time tomorrow I'll know you better 

When my memory is not so short 

This time I'm asking for freedom 

Freedom from a world which you deny 

And you'll give it to me now 

I'll take it anyhow 

When the night comes falling from the sky
