The Night Comes On - Judy Collins[00:00:01]

I went down to the place[00:00:08]

Where I knew she lay waiting[00:00:10]

Under the marble and the snow[00:00:13]

I said "Mother I'm frightened[00:00:17]

The thunder and the lightning[00:00:20]

I'll never come through this alone"[00:00:22]

She said I'll be with you[00:00:26]

My shawl wrapped around you[00:00:29]

My hand on your head when you go[00:00:32]

And the night came on it was very calm[00:00:35]

I wanted the night to go on and on[00:00:40]

But she said[00:00:44]

Go back go back to the world[00:00:46]

We were fighting in Egypt[00:00:54]

When they signed this agreement[00:00:56]

That nobody else had to die[00:00:58]

There was this terrible sound[00:01:02]

And my father went down[00:01:05]

With a terrible wound in his side[00:01:07]

He said Try to go on[00:01:11]

Take my books take my gun[00:01:14]

And remember my son how they lied[00:01:16]

And the night comes on and it's very calm[00:01:21]

I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong[00:01:25]

But you don't want to lie not to the young[00:01:30]

We were locked in this kitchen[00:01:38]

I took to religion[00:01:41]

And wondered how long she would stay[00:01:43]

I needed so much[00:01:47]

That I have nothing to touch[00:01:50]

I've always been greedy that way[00:01:52]

But my son and my daughter[00:01:56]

Climbed out of the water[00:01:59]

Cryin' papa you promised to play[00:02:01]

And they lead me away to the great surprise[00:02:06]

It's papa don't peek papa cover your eyes[00:02:10]

And they hide they hide in the World[00:02:14]

Now I look for her always[00:02:24]

I'm lost in this calling[00:02:26]

I'm tied to the threads of some prayer[00:02:29]

Saying When will she summon me [00:02:32]

When will she come to me [00:02:35]

What must I do to prepare [00:02:38]

Then she bends to my longing[00:02:41]

Like a willow like a fountain[00:02:44]

She stands in the luminous air[00:02:46]

And the night comes on and it's very calm[00:02:51]

I lie in her arms and says When I'm gone[00:02:55]

I'll be yours yours for a song[00:02:59]

Now the crickets are singing[00:03:09]

The vesper bells ringing[00:03:11]

The cat's curled asleep in his chair[00:03:13]

I'll go down to Bill's Bar[00:03:17]

I can make it that far[00:03:20]

And I'll see if my friends are still there[00:03:22]

And yes here's to the few[00:03:26]

Who forgive what you do[00:03:29]

And the fewer who don't even care[00:03:31]

And the night comes on and it's very calm[00:03:36]

I want to cross over I want to go home[00:03:40]

And she says[00:03:44]

Go back go back to the world[00:03:46]
