Night Came Down

The night came down It slid along the ground It carried flames that circled round The grass, the leaves are turning brown I didn't know, how the wind would blow When I drove away that sunny day A sudden plea, a call to flee Flashing lights are blinding me Ashes fly, burn my eyes Blackened rooms, filled with gloom Smoky air, no time to spare Sirens scream, I can't stop this dream Lost my way, I stopped to pray I searched the sky for reasons why I couldn't sleep, dawn didn't greet A morning gray, a dark display It's hard to know where the winds will blow The world we see can't really be It fades away in just one day Why it comes and goes, we'll never know
