When the Night Falls (with Ry Cooder) [2006 Remaster]

As the night falls
As the sun starts to sink
And the street lights blink on
The town's yawning
I climb down my stairs
To the empty avenue
And follow my shadow till morning
Cause when the night falls, it falls on me
And when the day breaks I'm in pieces
When the night falls it falls on me
And I'm so lonely
As I walk past
The theatres and stores
And the whores that now work
Where we first met
I want to hold you
So bad that it hurts
And it only gets worse when the sun sets
Cause when the night falls, it falls on me
And when the day breaks I'm in pieces
When the night falls it falls on me
And I'm so lonely
And then I see you and call out your name
But down the street you keep walking away
And when I reach you
A stranger looks over her shoulder
Then it starts all over
Now the moon is
A thin silver line
Disappearing behind
A skyscraper
And I climb the stairs
To my dark hotel room
Through the litter of Sunday newspapers
Cause when the night falls, it falls on me
And when the day breaks I'm in pieces
When the night falls it falls on me
And I'm so lonely
I'm so lonely
I'm so lonely
