Life is wonderful,
You love the days 'til you're dead and cold,
The pleasures lived in the light,
But I love the night, the shapes it solves
And the way that it falls, the way that it falls
And she loves everyone, so I let her burn in the sun
And then trick her into a fight,
'Cause I love the night, the spills and squalls
And the way that it falls, the way that it falls
Falling through the morning,
Falling through all of space
To wipe the sunlight from her face
Like the shadow falling in this place
Life is wonderful,
You hog the heat 'til the fire cools
And you hold on as though it's your right,
And dread the night's enclosing walls
And the way that it falls, the way that it falls
