When the night rolls in
Patricia Kaas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fillin' up my heart with hope
I pray for the day to be gentle
Go to help me through the letting go
I get a little better every day
Shaking the memory of you
But when the night rolls in
I can feel it comin'
Can't get out from under your spell
I wish you well
But still I wonder why it starts all over again
When the night rolls in
Well my friends they try to console me
They take me out in the afternoon
Just kickin' back and tellin' our stories
And I don't want to leave too soon
It's gettin' easy, gettin through the days
And I don't even think of you
But when the night rolls in
Like distant thunder
I can feel it comin'
Can't get out from under your spell
I wish you well
But still I wonder why it starts all over again
When the night rolls in
Now I can get through almost any day
And not even think of you
But when the night rolls in
Like distant thunder
I can feel it comin'
Can't get out from under your spell
I wish you well
But still I wonder why it starts all over again
