Tonight's The Night We Die Lyrics

The sun is fading o'er the hills
Like the sugar on your tongue
The nightwings fly, the baby Christ
Now that the day is done

Shadows of a lifetime
Spill across the sky
I turn to you and hold you tight
Tonight's the night we die

My love, my life so long we stood
Together you and I
But now it's time for us to leave
Tonight's the night we die
Tonight's the night we die
Tonight's the night we die

I can hear the siren
It wanders through the firs
It's somewhere deep beneath the grass
A cemetery stirs

Shadows of a lifetime
Spill across the sky
I turn to you and hold you tight
Tonight's the night we die

A place of calm, a place of peace
As we go by and by
I pull you close, it's time to go
Tonight's the night we die

The first and last, all things must pass
I'm glad you're coming with me
We've been together for so long
I hope you will forgive me
I hope you will forgive me
I hope you will forgive me
