NightFall

When I was a kid I stared at the stars From the corner of my own backyard I stood still with starlit eyes Beyond smooth and velvet skies Laced up my shoes faced up the blue All around and inside me Only at night I felt great and alive I wanted my fill of that wild thrill That I would only get at night I waited for the sun to go down When I was a kid I wanted to feel something real like Run on nightfall Run on nightfall Run on nightfall Run on nightfall Once I was asleep I was sweating cold Dreaming of breaking through that door I had to escape those smothering walls And give myself up to the nightfall 'Twas that kind of feeling That got me spinning in the vortex of the night I waited for the sun to go down When I was a kid I wanted to feel something real like Run on nightfall Run on nightfall Run on nightfall Run on nightfall When I was a kid I wanted to feel something real like Run on nightfall Run on nightfall Run on nightfall Run on nightfall
