Elizabeth Shepherd Heavy Falls the Night lyrics

"Let's nurse this sweet disclosure before the break of day
Who blushing, past confessions neatly hides away
Let's dance this moonlight silly drunk endeavours on parade
To disguise the bitter knowing of a pitiful charade

We'll pass this moment off to the emptiness it holds
Cloaked in wine-streaked tales, stains within its folds

As long as night falls heavy, my love
Your touch be the way, you laughter the light
And all we need now is some truth, my love
So fall heavy the night

Fall heavy, fall heavy
So heavy falls the night
So heavy falls the night


If tales spill messy once the dawn comes cracking through
We'll weep the daylight sober in dreamers' lonely hues

As long as night falls steady, my love
Your touch be the way you laughter the light
And all we need now is some truth, my love
So fall heavy the night

Fall heavy, fall heavy
So heavy falls the night
So heavy falls the night
