Night Must Fall Lyrics

Never thought we'd ever end.
I can't afford to lose more friends.
Not to have you close at hand
Wasn't quite what I had planned.
(It's that time)
Is it that time?
A moment that will pass
(Yes, it's that time)
Is it that time?
We knew it couldn't last.


I'm just trying to catch my breath.
A heart that beats itself to death,
Panic stricken by the thought
You're not here for my support.
(But its that time)
Is it that time?
A curtain has to fall.
(Yes, it's that time)
Is it that time?
The writing's on the wall.
(You're in your prime )
You're in your prime now, darling,
And that's the worst of all.
It's just that time.
Night must fall.
I'm so lonely.
I'm so sorry.

Can we ever justify
Letting sleeping hatred lie?
In the trenches hand-to-hand
Is the measure of a man.
Am I a man?
(It's that time)
Is it that time?
The light has almost gone.
(Yes, it's that time)
Is it that time?
The carnival moves on.
You're in your prime
(You're in your prime now, darling)
And you did nothing wrong,
It's just that time.
Night has come.
