Here come the lonely night
I can't escape my mind
From a broken bow fall into finite space
With the roof torn down, this house is an empty place
So tired of wandering around and starting over
No garden grows here now
Just the one leaf clover
And when the windows shutter it's always dark inside
Sometimes the pain is absurd
Still, it's what fate decides

Thought I saw Jesus come down dressed like a soldier
I used to cry like a clown and now I'm older

Here come the lonely night
Can't escape my mind
Here come the lonely night
Can't escape my mind

And the grinding wheel turns and the heavens burn
As the pilot ignites is a lesson learned
A sullen look of concern, it might make you sad
Like the fluttering bird in a dream you had

Here come the lonely night
I can't escape my mind
Here come the lonely night
I can't escape my mind

I saw Jesus come down dressed like a soldier
Once I cried like a clown, now I'm older

Here come the lonely night
Can't escape my mind
Here come the lonely night
Can't escape my mind
