The Nightwatchman - Night Falls lyrics

She warned him not to go He said I've got to go She whispered I love you so He said I've got to go Night falls on the river valley Night falls on the mines and fields Night falls on the just and unjust Night falls In the next town there's trouble needs straightenin' out There's dynamite under the porch Me and my four kids are hungry A man's yellin' through the screen door Night falls on the river valley Night falls on the mines and fields Night falls on the just and unjust Night falls On they came in the morning Shoulder to shoulder, end to end You don't have to speak You just have to stand Steve Sutton died there on the bridge Local 393 was born A black and white picture of the coming of the Lord The dam is broken, the river come Night falls on the river valley Night falls on the mines and fields Night falls on the just and unjust Night falls She warned him not to go He said I've got to go She whispered I love you so Night falls
