Lyrics

1. LONELY NIGHT

I'm looking for someone
In this old crazy world tonight
I can't take this heartbreak
In this old crazy world tonight

I'm feeling so empty
In this old crazy world tonight
I'm restless defenceless
In this unholy world tonight

I never learn

O lonely night
Disappear
O lonely night
Don't you come around here
O lonely night
Lonely lonely night

I'm waiting for something
To put these foolish things to right
Protected accepted
I need it now I need it right

I'm feeling so empty
In this old lonely world's tonight
I'm restless defenceless
In this unholy world tonight

For love we burn
We never learn
We never learn

O lonely night
Disappear
O lonely night
Don't you come around here
O lonely night

O lonely night
Disappear
O lonely night
Don't you come around here
O lonely night


2. LES MORTS DANSANT

Cannons roared in the valley they thundered
While the guns lit up the night
Then it rained and both sides wondered
Who is wrong and who is right

On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow
Bloody hands and broken back
When they fire see him pirouette solo
Jump in time to the rat a tat

What a night though it's one of seven
What night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head

By the wall in a silouette standing
Through a flash of sudden light
Cigarette from his mouth just hanging
Paper square to his heart pinned tight

Gather round reluctant marksmen
One of them to take his life
With a smile he gives them pardon
Leaves the dark and takes the light

They dispatch their precious cargo
Knock him back right off his feet
And they pray may no one follow
Better still to face the beast

When the field has become a garden
And the wall has stood the test
Children play and the dogs run barking
Who would think or who would guess
