Here Comes The Night
Morrison Van and Them Lyrics

Whoa, here it comes
The singer senses that something bad is about to happen.

Here comes the night
The bad event is coming towards the singer.

Here comes the night
Reinforcement that the singer can feel that something bad is coming.

Whoa whoa whoa yeah
The artist is nervous and anxious about what is coming.

I could see right out my window
The artist is observing something that is upsetting them from inside their own home.

Walkin' down the street, my girl
The person the singer has feelings for is walking in their view.

With another guy
The person the singer has feelings for is with someone else.

His arm around her
The person the artist has feelings for is being affectionate with someone else.

Like it used to be with me
The person the artist has feelings for used to show that level of affection with them.

Whoa, it makes me want to die
The sight is causing intense feelings of pain and sadness within the artist.

Yeah yeah yeah
Reinforcement of the intense emotions the singer is feeling.

Well, here it comes
The bad event seems to be getting worse.

Here comes the night
The singer is experiencing a bad event.

Here comes the night
Reinforcement that the singer is going through a difficult time.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah
The singer's anxiety is increasing as the bad event continues.

There they go
The couple the artist is observing is moving away from the view.

It's funny how they look so good together
The artist is able to see how well the couple looks together despite their own feelings of pain.

Wonder what is wrong with me
The singer is questioning why they are unable to move on from their feelings for the other person.

Why can't I, accept the fact she's chosen him
The singer is struggling to come to terms with the fact that the other person has chosen someone else over them.

And simply let them be
The artist is finding it difficult to accept the situation and give up their feelings for the other person.

Whoa whoa whoa
The artist is still struggling to come to terms with their emotions.

Well, here it comes
The difficult emotions are continuing.

Here comes the night
Reinforcement that the singer is going through a bad time.

Here comes the night
The negative event is still ongoing.

Whoa whoa whoa yeah
The singer is still experiencing intense anxiety and sadness.

She's with him he's turning down the lights
The couple is getting intimate and moving out of the singer's view.

And now he's holding her
The couple is becoming more intimate.

The way I used to do
The other person is being affectionate with someone else in the same way they used to be with the artist.

I could see, her closing her eyes
The artist is still observing the situation from their window and watching the couple's intimacy.

And tellin' him lies
The singer is aware that the other person is being unfaithful and not being honest with their new partner.

Exactly like she told me, too
The other person used to deceive the singer in the same way and the singer is aware that they are now doing it to someone else.

Well, here it comes
Reinforcement of the ongoing difficulties.

Here comes the night
The difficult emotions continue.

The long, the long and lonely night
Emphasis on the length and loneliness of the night, indicating that the artist is going to be suffering for a long time.

Night, night, night, night, night, night
Repetition to reinforce the darkness and negative emotions being experienced.
