Bob Ballard - Night Came Down Lyrics

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

The night came down
It slid along the ground
It carried flames that circled round
The grass, the leaves are turning brown

Ashes fly, burn my eyes
Blackened rooms, filled with gloom
Smoky air, no time to spare
Sirens scream, I can't stop this dream

The night came down
It slid along the ground
It carried flames that circled round
The grass, the leaves are turning brown

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

The night came down
It slid along the ground
It carried flames that circled round
The grass, the leaves are turning brown
