Now this is a hope I can hang my hat on
this is the dresser, this is the drawer
this is a land I can make my home in
a thin, little dwelling 'neath the northern star
Well, the high birds of heaven, they shit on the windows
on the great architecture of humankind
the trailer parks, the banks, the buttressed cathedrals
and the houses of parliament and the schools of the blind
And the night is falling on me
and the night is falling on me
and the night is falling, falling, it's falling on me
I'm gleaming in the gloaming out on the blank plain
impermanent 'neath the firmament, a matter of time
I'm slowly learning how to say, Goodbye
and the choir inside sings 'This little light of mine'
And the night is falling on me
and the night is falling on me
and the night is falling, falling, it's falling on me
just like grace... yeah, just like grace
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere I go
in my heart I don't know how else it could be
The night is falling on me...
