"T-Bone" Burnett - When the Night Falls [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

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 my stairs
To my dark hotel room
Through the litter of Sunday newspapers

[Chorus]

I'm so lonely
I'm so lonely
