Waiting for the Night / Lyrics

by Martin Gore

I´m waiting for the night to fall (2)

I know that it will save us all

When everything´s dark

Keeps us from the stark reality

I´m waiting for the night to fall (2)

When everything is bearable

And there in the still

All that you feel is tranquility

There is a sound in the calm

Someone is coming to harm

I press my hands to my ears

It´s easier here to forget fears

And when I squinted

The world seemed rose-tinted

And angels appeared to descend

To my surprise

With half-closed eyes

Things looked even better

Than when they were open

Been waiting for the night to fall

I knew that it would save us all

Now everything´s dark

Keeps us from the stark reality

Been waiting for the night to fall

Now everything is bearable

And here in the still

All that you feel is tranquility
