As the night falls

As the sun starts to sink

And the street lights blink on

The town's yawning

I climb down my stairs

To the empty avenue

And follow my shadow till morning

Cause when the night falls, it falls on me

And when the day breaks I'm in pieces

When the night falls it falls on me

And I'm so lonely

As I walk past

The theatres and stores

And the whores that now work

Where we first met

I want to hold you

So bad that it hurts

And it only gets worse when the sun sets

Cause when the night falls, it falls on me

And when the day breaks I'm in pieces

When the night falls it falls on me

And I'm so lonely

And then I see you and call out your name

But down the street you keep walking away

And when I reach you

A stranger looks over her shoulder

Then it starts all over

Now the moon is

A thin silver line

Disappearing behind

A skyscraper

And I climb the stairs

To my dark hotel room

Through the litter of Sunday newspapers

Cause when the night falls, it falls on me

And when the day breaks I'm in pieces

When the night falls it falls on me

And I'm so lonely

I'm so lonely

I'm so lonely
