Текст песни Casting Crowns - Waiting On The Night To Fall

"Waiting On The Night To Fall"

This is the last track (#12) on Casting Crowns latest album (at the current date)
"Thrive." I've done my best to tab it out properly, that doesn't mean there may not be
mistakes. If you spot one please send me a PM or shoot me an email at "embear11@gmail.com".

"Waiting On The Night To Fall" is in standard tuning with a Capo on the 3rd fret. I
believe this is how they play it (I saw them live, however I can't remember if they played
this song or not. Their guitarist used a capo on all the songs they played though). You 
can remove the Capo, or move it up/down the neck to fit your vocal range.

Suggestion: This should sound much better if for the first verse and chorus you put most
of the emphasis on the high notes and only sparingly strike the low notes, then as the
song progresses gradually put more emphasis on the lower notes.

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
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
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 he'll never have your soul
But he will gladly rob you blind
While you're feasting at his table, he'll tie your hands and numb your mind
He'll take you farther than you wanna go
He'll keep you longer than you wanna stay
And it will cost you more than you ever thought you'd pay

He's waiting on the night to fall
The old man's coming to call
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

Hes waiting on the night
Hes waiting on the night to fall
The old mans coming to call
But you don't see, you don't see the writing on the wall
Hes waiting on the night
Hes waiting on the night to fall
Hes waiting on the night to fall
