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
