The day has gone to bed and the light has expired
The world is cold and she is tired
The night has awakened and the darkness has swallowed
The world is tired and she is cold

*A hand is raised when the lights go down
And suddenly she's wearing a cotton gown
And every single morning promises a new day
But nothing changes and it's still the same
After the daylight hours, stories become lies
The truth is revealed when the day dies

The light has expired
The day has gone to bed
Her body is breathing
But her soul is dead
The darkness has swallowed and the night has awakened
Her body lies while breathing because her sould is dead

*Chorus

Sunlight can be amusing but eventually it will fade
And leave her to be enveloped and turn all shades
Of black and blue and purple too

*Chorus

This variation of darkness has an end
But she doubts she'll ever find out when

*Chorus

When the night takes over
She'll feel its rath
Delivered on her husband's behalf
