The Night Descending Lyrics

The Night Descending lyrics

Black hair, the night descending 

Baby never puts her trust in 

Tight black tie too quick to laughter 

Ain't no telling what he's after 



Found a friend without religion 

Riding on a stolen engine 

Far too fast to pacify you 

Ain't no telling what he's up to 



In time, the night may soften 

Trust that I'm still hoping, darling 

Wooden coin, he called my daughter 

No good knowing what came after 



Met a man with missing fingers 

Shaking hands with shaded strangers 

Far too strong to pacify you 

Ain't no telling what they're up to 



Late night, the cock crows shortly 

Morning through the open doorway 

All us servants beg the master 

Ain't no knowing what he's after 



In a year of fallen angels 

Broken hands and boys in danger 

Pray the lord might pacify you 

Ain't no telling what he's up to
