Following the path as it leads toward
the darkness in the north
Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy
they've seen that hope before
but if you want to stay for a little bit
rest your aching limbs for a little bit
The falling of the night is beckoning
and you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
but you can't catch the words they say
Close your weary eyes, be on your way
Mist is swirling, creatures crawling
hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the folly was your own
but the force behind can't conquer all you fears
If you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
The falling of the night is beckoning
and you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
but you can't catch the words they say
Close your ears and eyes, be on your way
Pull your thoughts back many years
to the time when there was light with every dawning
Perhaps a day will come when the light will be as clear as on that morning
but if you want to stay for a little bit
rest your aching limbs for a little bit
The falling of the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your ears and eyes, be on your way
Why do ask people to correct the lyrics and when they bother to do it, you don't make the corrections but just print underneath that that person who has gone to much trouble to correct the lyrics have done so but you have not.
