When the Night Comes Lyrics
When the night comes
And you lay your weary head to rest
No more trials, no more tests
When the night comes
When the night comes
You don't have to be afraid
Of any choice you made
When the night comes
Don't be afraid
You're only dreaming... (repeat)
When the night comes
The headlines read
Whatever's in your dreams
When the night comes
When the night comes
And you lay by the one you love
The one who knows you and the things you do
When the night comes
Don't be afraid
You're only dreaming... (repeat)
When the night comes... (repeat)
And you lay your weary head to rest
No more trials, no more tests
When the night comes
You don't have to be afraid
Of any choice you made
When the night comes
You're only dreaming... (repeat)
The headlines read
Whatever's in your dreams
When the night comes
And you lay by the one you love
The one who knows you and the things you do
When the night comes
You're only dreaming... (repeat)

I may be way off here, but I think he's telling this to someone dying. The night is death. When it comes, don't be afraid of the things in your past. You'll be in the afterlife with the ones you love.
That's what I imagine it to be about.
I'm wrong. But that's still the way I interpret it. To each their own.

As a ballad, this song really makes me feel something deep and powerful in my heart. The vocals are amazing.
A very literal and highly underrated song. Reminds me of when Extreme did "More Than Words", as this song is a stark contrast to the majority of other songs on Auerbach's album.
I interpret the song as nothing more than easing into the stillness of the night and not having a worry in the world as you lay to rest.
