Waiting on the Night to Fall - Casting Crowns
There's an old man living in the back of your woods tonight
You forgot he was even there,
but you've never slipped his mind
He's living off of scraps of you
you never knew you left behind
And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile
He's waiting on the night to fall
The old man's coming to call
But you don't see the writing on the wall
He'll never step out in the light
No, he's just biding time
And while you slumber,
he's gonna come and take it all
He's waiting on the night to fall
He's waiting on the night to fall
He knows you have the answers,
but truth lies dusty on your shelf
And the sword that
you could slay him with has
become an ornament and nothing else
You could put him back down in his hole in the ground,
but he knows you never will
He's been around so long you got used to the smell
He's waiting on the night to fall
The old man's coming to call
But you don't see the writing on the wall
He'll never step out in the light
No, he's just biding his time
