Night Comes Near - Kabbalah

I went down to the place Where I knew she lay waiting Under the marble and the snow I said, Mother I'm frightened The thunder and the lightning I'll never come through this alone She said, I'll be with you My shawl wrapped around you My hand on your head when you go And the night came on It was very calm I wanted the night to go on and on But she said, "Go back, go back to the World" We were fighting in Egypt When they signed this agreement That nobody else had to die There was this terrible sound And my father went down With a terrible wound in his side He said, "Try to go on Take my books, take my gun Remember, my son, how they lied" And the night comes on It's very calm I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong But you don't want to lie, not to the young We were locked in this kitchen I took to religion And I wondered how long she would stay I needed so much To have nothing to touch I've always been greedy that way But my son and my daughter Climbed out of the water Crying, "Papa, you promised to play" And they lead me away To the great surprise It's "Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes" And they hide, they hide in the World Now I look for her always I'm lost in this calling I'm tied to the threads of some prayer Saying, "When will she summon me When will she come to me What must I do to prepare" When she bends to my longing Like a willow, like a fountain She stands in the luminous air And the night comes on It's very calm I lie in her arms, she says, "When I'm gone I'll be yours, yours for a song" Now the crickets are singing The vesper bells ringing The cat's curled asleep in his chair I'll go down to Bill's Bar I can make it that far And I'll see if my friends are still there Yes, and here's to the few Who forgive what you do And the fewer who don't even care And the night comes on It's very calm I want to cross over, I want to go home But she says, "Go back, go back to the World"

I still see you wherever you are I still feel you, you're still in my heart, in my heart. That's the stuff I kept it just the way it was. It's the only thing I've got that's left from us. Don't know why she's gone. Don't know why she went away. Don't know what went wrong. Oh so wrong, so wrong. First comes the night, baby. Then comes the day. First comes the heartache darling, it ain't always gonna hurt this way. It ain't always gonna feel this way, feel this way. Thought I saw you walking with your head hung down. Looking for you searching every place in town. Close my eyes it's raining makes me think of you. Hurting and remembering all that we've been through. Sometimes I want to give up, but something won't let go. Things are getting better, any day I know, I know. First comes the night, baby. Then comes the day. First comes the heartache, darling. It ain't always gonna hurt this way. First comes the night, baby. Then comes the day. First comes the heartache, darling. It ain't always gonna feel this way, no it ain't always gonna feel this way, this way. I still see you wherever you are I still feel you, you're still in my heart, you're in my heart.

Ohhhhh... here it comes Here comes the night Yeah, here comes the night Oh, yeah (here comes the night) I can see right out my window walking down the street my girl With another guy His arms around her like it used to be with me Oh it makes me want to die Yeah, here it comes Here comes the night Yeah, (here comes the night) here comes the night Yeah... (here comes the night) There they go, funny how they look so good together Wonder what is wrong with me Why can't I accept the fact she's chosen him And simply let them be? Here it comes Here comes the night Here comes the night Yeah... (here comes the night) Oh she's with him they're turning down the lights Now he's holding her the way I used to do I can see her closing her eyes and telling him lies Exactly like she told me too Oh, here it comes Here comes the night Oh, he here comes the night Yeah... (here comes the night) Here, here it comes the Here, here it comes the Here comes the night yaeh Lonely, lonely night Lonely, lonely night Oh oo ho here comes the night Here comes the night yeah

Three, four Give me strength to rest my weary head The dark is coming over And I know I can't control her Lightning strikes as soon as I forget It lingers in the moment I feel the shadows closing in I start spiraling down when my head gets loud Is it all a dream or reality? Let the sirens out, but I fear the sound 'Cause oh, oh, oh Here comes the night Would you lie here next to me? And stay up and watch me breathe While in ecstasy 'Cause when I close my eyes Here comes the night Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 'Cause when I close my eyes Crossing lines like there's no boundaries I see you, but you're hazy Like phases of a daydream I start spiraling down when my head gets loud Is it all a dream or reality? Let the sirens out, but I fear the sound 'Cause oh, oh, oh Here comes the night Would you lie here next to me? And stay up and watch me breathe While in ecstasy 'Cause when I close my eyes Here comes the night Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 'Cause when I close my eyes I don't wanna fall asleep alone Knowing what I know deep in my bones Every time I go to close my eyes Here comes the night Here it comes, hold my breath, sink into the feeling Can't control when I know my body is leaving Kiss my soft and I'll see you on the other side Here comes the night Would you lie here next to me? And stay up and watch me breathe While in ecstasy 'Cause when I close my eyes Here comes the night Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 'Cause when I close my eyes Here comes the night
