Joe Cocker - When The Night Comes




Cocker is an English rock/blues singer who came to popularity in the 1960s, and is most known for his gritty voice, his idiosyncratic arm movements while performing and his cover versions of popular songs, particularly those of The Beatles.


Says Cocker of this song: The chorus for "When The Night Comes" was written by Bryan Adams and Diane Warren in Los Angeles. Bryan and I wrote the verses and completed the song in Vancouver a few days later."






Lyrics


Hold on

I'll be back for you

It won't be long

But for now there's something else

That's calling me

So take me down a lonesome road

Point me east and let me go

That suitcase weighs me down

With memories


I just want to be the one you run to

I just want to be the one you come to

I just want to be there for someone

When the night comes

Let's put all the cares behind us

And go where they'll never find us

I just want to be there beside you

When the night comes

When the night comes


Two spirits in the night

That can leave before the morning light

When there's nothing left to lose

And nothing left to fear

So meet me on the edge of town

Won't keep you waiting I'll be 'round

Then you and I

We'll just roll right out of here


I just want to be the one you run to

I just want to be the one you come to

I just want to be there for someone

When the night comes

Let's put all the cares behind us

And go where they'll never find us

I just want to be there beside you

When the night comes

When the night comes


I know there'll be a time for you and I

Just take my hand and run away

Think of all the pieces of the shattered dream

We're gonna make it out some day

We'll be coming back

Coming back to stay

When the night comes


I want to be the one you run to

When the night comes

To be the one you'd come to

I want to be the one you run to

Ooh

I just want to be the one you run to

want to be the one you come to

I just want to be there for someone

When the night comes

Let's put all the cares behind us

And go where they'll never find us

I just want to be there beside you

When the night comes

When the night comes

Ah ah when the night comes

When the night rolls down

Ah ah when the night comes

I want to be with you

Ah ah when the night comes

Oh ah when the night comes in

Ah ah oh

Ah ah when the night comes

When the night comes

Ah ah when the night comes

I want to be right by your side

Ah ah when the night comes

Yes baby

Ah ah oh

Don't do that to me woman

Ah ah oh

Ever stayed when the night time gets in here

Ah ah when the night comes

I want to rise and up in the

When the night comes

Ah ah when the night comes

Ah ah oh

Love me
