Hey southern sparrow sitting on a tree
I can see you but you can't see me
How are you going to get your flying done?
Now that the night time has come
Now that the night has come
Whispering shadow, walk beside me
Wherever I wander and all I see
Who will I turn to? Where will I run?
Now that the night time has come
Now that the night has
Hey night time lady putting on your dress
For who are you waiting? Who will be next?
Wipe all those tears 'cause there's work to be done
Now that the night time has come
Now that the night has come
Black water river flowing on the rocks
Who do you wait for now the day is lost?
Who will be there to hear your waters run
Now that the night time has come
Now that the night has come
I'm alone and forgotten far from my home
The daylight has cursed me a long time ago
Now I am going to get my travelling done
Now that the night time has come
Now that the night has come
Now that the night time has come
Now that the night has come
