  Lyrics 
  
  In the last rays of the setting sun
  And the past days, yeah
  That's where our memories run
  And all of those times
  Still race through my mind
  I'm shattered inside to find
  
  When the night comes down
  I'm here all alone
  When the night comes down
  There's nowhere to go
  
  Call me and I'll wait 'till the Summer
  You never understood
  And I will wait forever 
  For a love that's only good
  As the light starts to dim
  The fear closes in
  And the nightmare's begin
  
  When the night comes down
  I'm here all alone
  When the night comes down
  There's nowhere to go
  
  Oh no! You won't be there tomorrow
  Oh no! You say it isn't true
  I can't take this pain and sorrow
  Oh! Can't you see my heart is broken in two?
  
  I'm shattered inside to find...
  
  When the night comes down
  I'm here all alone
  When the night comes down
  There's nowhere to go

  NOTES : This along with "Turbo Lover" are my favorite Priest songs. I took some time to look
  for tabs of it on the Web but was not able to find anything but JPEG images of a Japonese
  Tab book. Since the quality of printing was poor I decided to write it down as TXT. 
  I hope that it can be useful to anyone.
  If you find something's missing feel free to add.
