I watched the evening draw in

I watched the night time falling down

falling down,

I got accustomed to the gloom

until the sun crept in my room

in my room.

And as the daybreak

fell flat on it's face

the iron sky came creeping up behind

to take it's place

And the rain fell

like bullets from a gun

And the sky came

and swallowed up the sun

So I buttoned up my coat

and I want out for a walk

beneath the Iron Sky I felt the water in my shoes

I saw the light cut through the gloom

I stood atop the bridge

and watched them creeping home

down the river road
