Nightfall draws its curtain on this town
I feel a touch of sadness as the sun is going down
Now that I'm left alone with my thoughts
I'll pace here back and forth until I am overwrought
Come sunrise, everything will be alright
So quiet in this place when I'm alone
All too often feeling like this place is not my home
Agonizing over days longs since passed
Watching night, wondering which chance will be my last
Come sunrise, everything will be alright
Black night slowly eases to dull grey
Relieved, I welcome in this wonderful new day
Streaks of scarlet break upon the land
I feel overcome with a joy that I can't understand
Come sunrise, everything will be alright

Night will always carry with it a sadness for me. Dark, mysterious and filled with sad goodbyes, lovers long gone, memories of those long passed. A time when I rarely sleep well, instead honoring the memories of all who have touched my life. Most nights I long for sunrise. The chance to start again.
