Before Nightfall Lyrics by Stephen Bishop

Yardwork

2016

[Verse 1]
Just like a little old bird
Sings a song that’s never heard and you sing along
It’s a mean little game there’s no life to blame but your own
So it’s down and down you go to the darkest place you’ll ever know
And your fear has brought you here
Well I promise you
I promise you yeah yeah I’ll get you home before nightfall

[Verse 2]
When you’re tearing yourself apart
When you broken your own heart I’ll help you mend it
There’s a smallest ray of hope you see no moon in your telescope I’ll help you find it
And when it’s no and down you go on an endless search to find your soul your fear
Brings you here
Well I promise you
I promise you yeah yeah
I get you home before nightfall

Something inside of you is trying to be strong
But you long for release and who you used to be

When it’s down down down you go to the darkest place you’ll ever know
Your fear has brought you here
Well I promise you
I promise you yeah yeah I’ll get you home before nightfall
Get you home before nightfall
Before nightfall
Before nightfall
