The Night Keeps Falling Into the Stars... (Feeling Down)
The night keeps falling into the stars
And the dampness drags on the grass
Somewhere there is music and laughter
False and foreign, they falter
I wish to look nowhere
Casting my eyes adrift
To throw out all worldly cares,
With no memories to sift
Ask me to lay my life to waste
To do nothing in haste
Send away all the familiar faces.
Go back two or three paces
Until I can believe again
Let my soul just be a stain
Or another sad song's refrain.
Let me be alone in the rain
When the heaviness in my heart
Tips the scale in too much pain
I'll brave myself to pull out the dart,
And watch the month's moon wane.
