We Only Come Out at Night Lyrics

We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

And once again
You'll pretend to know me well
My friends

And once again
I'll pretend to know the way
Through the empty space
Through the secret places of the heart

We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

I walk alone
I walk alone to find the way home
I'm on my own
I'm on my own to see the ways

That I can't help the days
You will make it home okay
I know you can
And you can

We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night

And once again now
You'll pretend to know that
That there's an end
That there's an end to this begin

It will help you sleep at night
It will make it seem that right is always right
Alright?

We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much too bright
We only come out at night
