Night

This place is quick sand, a smiling decoy
I'm drowning slowly
She said to me, "Don't wash your eyes out
Escape if you can"
I'm afraid that no love is evergreen

This night is long, and my fire's burning out
Help me be strong, help me

Great good Ohio, I'm coming down
When you credit a lie, don't cry
Oh, steady rise and fall
The sun in both hands
Sinking is blood, no love is evergreen

This night is long, and my fire's burning out
Help me be strong, help me
This night is long, and my fire's burning out
Help me be strong, help me be strong
This night is long, and my fire's burning out
Help me be strong, help me be strong

This night just seems to carry on
And his patience is paper thin
I'm torn like he is, I'm torn like he is
These faces are all facing me
And the voices are breaking in
I keep it under, not from my brother

This night is long, and my fire's burning out
Help me be strong, help me be strong
This night is long, and my fire's burning out
Help me be strong, help me be strong
This night is long, and my fire's burning out
Help me be strong, help me be strong
