The Nightwatchman Lyrics

"Night Falls" lyrics


She warned him not to go
He said I've got to go
She whispered I love you so
He said I've got to go
Night falls on the river valley
Night falls on the mines and fields
Night falls on the just and unjust
Night falls

In the next town there's trouble needs straightenin' out
There's dynamite under the porch
Me and my four kids are hungry
A man's yellin' through the screen door

Night falls on the river valley
Night falls on the mines and fields
Night falls on the just and unjust
Night falls

On they came in the morning
Shoulder to shoulder, end to end
You don't have to speak
You just have to stand

Steve Sutton died there on the bridge
Local 393 was born
A black and white picture of the coming of the Lord
The dam is broken, the river come

Night falls on the river valley
Night falls on the mines and fields
Night falls on the just and unjust
Night falls

She warned him not to go
He said I've got to go
She whispered I love you so
Night falls
