Nightfall The time has come I love the best Of all The way I find out west is west: Nightfall Wherever I am I watch the sun Disappear While it shines up a morning begun Far from here But while it is gone the stars and the moon Against the black Are so beautiful that it seems too soon When it comes back Where all of the magical secrets of night Are spread out for me And all is of silver (both tarnished and bright) And of destiny When night falls it is fallen with me now Before we rise Till morning breaks the other way somehow To lift the skies As lifting all of the fallen then Day returns Falling and rising are equal when Hope still burns A lonely candle in the dark I wait Being the fire though but a spark Of fate And I too wait for morning but The end Of day is mine no matter what To spend The sun a gold coin on the sea Then the silver of ecstasy The time has come I love the best Of all The way I find out west is west: Nightfall +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMIX
