Lyrics

In the last rays of the setting sun

And the past days, yeah

That's where our memories run

And all of those times

Still race through my mind

I'm shattered inside to find

When the night comes down

I'm here all alone

When the night comes down

There's nowhere to go

Call me and I'll wait 'till the Summer

You never understood

And I will wait forever

For a love that's only good

As the light starts to dim

The fear closes in

And the nightmare's begin

When the night comes down

I'm here all alone

When the night comes down

There's nowhere to go

Oh no! You won't be there tomorrow

Oh no! You say it isn't true

I can't take this pain and sorrow

Oh! Can't you see my heart is broken in two?

I'm shattered inside to find...

When the night comes down

I'm here all alone

When the night comes down

There's nowhere to go

NOTES : This along with "Turbo Lover" are my favorite Priest songs. I took some time to look

for tabs of it on the Web but was not able to find anything but JPEG images of a Japonese

Tab book. Since the quality of printing was poor I decided to write it down as TXT.

I hope that it can be useful to anyone.

If you find something's missing feel free to add.
