I'm waiting for the night to fall
                    D#m
I know that it will save us all
                   B
When everything's dark
                  D#m     G#m  A#
Keeps us from the stark reality

I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity

Chorus:
F#                       B
There is a star in the sky
G#m                      A#
Guiding my way with its light
F#                      B
And in the glow of the moon
G#m                  A#
Know my deliverance will come soon

I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality

I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity

Chorus:
There is a sound in the calm
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear

G#m
And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
    A#                  D#m
And angels appeared to descend
G#m
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
A#
Things looked even better
Than when they were open

Been waiting for the night to fall
I knew that it will save us all
Now everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality

Been waiting for the night to fall
Now everything is bearable
And here in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity
