lyrics

It’s Only The Night

You ever see a man with a well so deep and wide but when you see that man thirsting you wonder what makes a well run dry?
You ever close your eyes and pretend you’re not alive?
You’re just a shell with a hell hole in your mind.

But I would like to hold my head up high.
Oh sing with me the anthem of the night.
When the light has gone out in your eye
don’t worry it’s gonna’ be fine.
When the light has gone out in your eye
it’s only the night.

You ever wake up alone in a bed you’ve never seen?
There’s only so many pills and so many women and so many drinks ‘til you bleed.
You ever take what you made, light a match and throw it away?
There’s only so many people you have in your life you can burn and still know that they’ll stay

But I would like to hold my head up high.
Oh sing with me the anthem of the night.
When the light has gone out in your eyes
don’t worry it’s gonna’ be fine.
When the light has gone out in your eye
it’s only the night.

If it’s only the dark that you’re seeing -
if it’s blacker than shadows and coal -
If you’re blinded by the witching hour
and your blood you know it’s runs so cold
if you sing and nobody can hear you -
if you’re wandering alone like a stray -
you know it’s only the night ‘til the morning
then the morning gives way to the day
cause It’s only the night…

But I would like to hold my head up high.
Oh sing with me the anthem of the night.
When the light has gone out in your eyes
don’t worry it’s gonna’ be fine.
When the light has gone out in your eyes
it’s only the night.
