about

A sad tale of vision, I wrote it as a 24 year old and experienced it at 32
One year out, it is about losing everything through the painful experience of divorce

lyrics

Even the night

Even the night has turned its back
As forth he walks, winds push him back
Good looking man of melancholy stature
Whom sobs the corner of this inn
With a soaken coat from passing car
Raises his glass for merry old England

He cries this ones for misfortune and sorrow
And this one's for wife and children
Even the night has turned its back on me
Even the night has turned its back

Its New years eve, hailstones come down
The crying man him thirty one
Long gone are days of sun and warm companion
Oh lonely man your coat is torn
Your back is arched and eyes look far
Cry into your beer, think of nothing but the river

This one's for misfortune and sorrow
And this one's for wife and children
Even the night has turned its back on me
Even the night has turned its back
