Waiting For The Night
♥Depeche Mode♥ Lyrics

I'm waiting for the night to fall
I'm eagerly anticipating the darkness of nightfall

I know that it will save us all
Nightfall is what we need for relief

When everything's dark
The absence of light

Keeps us from the stark reality
Hides the harsh truths from us

When everything is bearable
Nightfall brings the ease we need

And there in the still
In the calm of the night

All that you feel is tranquillity
Peaceful feelings can be found

There is a star in the sky
A celestial body shining bright

Guiding my way with its light
A beacon of hope showing me the way

And in the glow of the moon
The faint light of the moon

Know my deliverance will come soon
Being rescued is imminent

There is a sound in the calm
A noise during the stillness

Someone is coming to harm
Someone's welfare is at risk

I press my hands to my ears
I shut out the noise

It's easier here just to forget fear
Ignoring the danger is simpler

And when I squinted
Narrowing my eyes

The world seemed rose-tinted
Everything looked brighter and better

And angels appeared to descend
My imagination conjured up divine beings

To my surprise
Unexpectedly

With half-closed eyes
Eyes partially shut

Things looked even better
The view was more pleasant than expected

Been waiting for the night to fall
The anticipation of darkness has been going on

Now everything's dark
The darkness is finally here

And here in the still
In the calmness of the moment

All that you feel is tranquility
Serenity is all that's experienced
