Night Falls
Tom Morello Lyrics

She want him, want him not to go
He said I've, I've got to go
She whispered I, I love you so
He said I, I've got to go

night falls on the river valley
Night falls on the mines and fields
Night falls on the
Night falls

in the next time there's trouble
Needs
There's dynamite under the porch
Me and my four kids are hungry
A man's yelling through the scream door

night falls on the river valley
Night falls on the mines and fields
Night falls on the
Night falls

only kin in the morning
Shoulder to shoulder
End to end
You don't have to speak
You just have to stand

stiff siting down there on the bridge
Local three...
A black and white picture of the common of the law
The dam is broken the river come

night falls on the river valley
Night falls on the mines and fields
Night falls on the just a non
Night falls

she want him, want him not to go
He said I've, I've got to go
She whispered I, I love you so

night falls
Night falls
