Waiting for the Night

I'm waiting for the night to fall 
  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 
  When everything is bearable 
  And there in the still 
  All that you feel is tranquillity 

  There is a star in the sky 
  Guiding my way with its light 
  And in the glow of the moon 
  Know my deliverance will come soon 

  I've been waiting for the night to fall 
  I know that it would save us all 
  Now everything's dark 
  Keeps us from the stark reality 

  I've been waiting for the night to fall 
  Now everything is bearable 
  And here in the still 
  All that you feel is tranquillity 

  There is a sound in the calm 
  Someone is coming to harm 
  I press my hands to my ears 
  It's easier here just to forget fear 

  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 opened 

  There is a star in the sky 
  Guiding my way with its light 
  And in the glow of the moon 
  Know my deliverance will come soon 

  There is a star in the sky 
  Guiding my way with its light 
  And in the glow of the moon 
  Know my deliverance will come soon
