All the hopes that you've been holding on to for so long
And the fires you've been chasing down now are all gone
I can tell you are a long way from the one you love
Oh, the night it takes so long to fall
Oh in the night, oh in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, if I let him go
But I'll always know on my life
He's not the only one, no no
Oh in the night, oh in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, if I let him go
But I'll always know on my life
He's not the only one, no no
Smoke and shadows follow me
To my heart like a palmer carrying a stone
I can still not believe the words that you sing
So heavy are your own
Ohhhhhhhhhhh no
All my life I've spent out wandering the farthest south
Oh the weathervane is holding out to hold me down
And a heart like yours should never have to go without
Sometimes it takes the night to fall
Oh in the night, oh in the night, oh in the night
I will hide away my fortunate son
He's soon to fall, if I let him go
But I'll always know on my life
He's not the only one
Know on my life
He's not the only one
No, you can never hide my fortunate son
No no
No no no
