There they go,
It's funny how they look so good together,
Wonder what is wrong with me.

And simply let them be.

Oh-oo oh-oo oh-oo yeah.
Verse 3
She's with him,
He's turning down the lights,
And now he's holdin' her,
The way I used to do.
I could see her closing her eyes,
And tellin' him lies,
Exactly like she told me too.
Yeah-e yeah-e yeah-e well here it comes,
Chorus
Here comes the night,
The long the long the lonely night,
Nigh nigh nigh nigh nigh night,
Whoa, here comes the night,
The long the long the long the lonely night
Night night night night...
Whoa, here comes the night (fade)
