I just saw the sun go down behind the purple sky

 Watched the daylight slowly fade and die

 Saw two lovers close their door and turn out their bedroom light

 Wishing you were here with me tonight

 Picked up a book and tried my best to read it

 But love doesn't always come on the nights you need it

Lying here I feel so lost in this big king size bed

Reached down and grabbed my fingers 'cross the satin spread

Thought of how it felt to lay my head upon your chest

Lord I never felt such loneliness

In nights like this I feel I am being cheated

But love doesn't always come on the nights you need it

On the nights I need you so, what do I do, where do I go?

 I (?) to make me feel completed

But love doesn't always come on the nights you need it

No, love doesn't always come on the nights you need it
