Animals, The - The Night Lyrics






Well, here comes the night
Its dark shadows passing over me
I've been feeling the chill
Ever since you been gone

I'm thinking of you, girl
Wondering if you're going
To return to me
Or was it a waste of time
All we've been through

When I'm all alone
I don't have someone I can run to
Baby, I ain't got no place to go

Don't you know that the night
Keeps moving on (keeps moving on)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
(Always too long) I keep
Looking over my shoulder

The night, I pray for the dawn
(Pray for the dawn)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
Baby, you're gone

We could start again
If only you would
Reach out and touch me, baby
Like a blind man
I feel you deep down inside

I'm over the edge
I'm sorry I hurt
You so badly, girl
The things that I said
Just cannot be denied

When I'm waiting here
Hoping that someday you'll
Return to me cause, baby
Feel like I'm losing control

Don't you know that the night
Keeps moving on (keeps moving on)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
(Always too long) I keep
Looking over my shoulder

The night, I pray for the dawn
(Pray for the dawn)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
Baby, you're gone

My mind's running wild
I feel like a child
Who's been lost again
You've stolen my heart
Captured my soul

Don't you know that the night
Keeps moving on (keeps moving on)
It keeps getting colder and colder
The night, always too long
(Always too long) Keeps
Getting colder and colder

The night, I pray for the dawn
(Pray for the dawn)
Keeps getting colder and colder
The night, I pray for the dawn

Yeah, the night, the night
(Keeps moving on)
Yeah, colder and colder
The night, always too long
(Always too long) it keeps
Getting colder and colder

The night, keep moving on
(Pray for the dawn) keep
Looking over my shoulder
The night, it's always too long

  12. b.... m....

    All the original members, amazing!!!!🔥

  13. M.... H....

    They broke up after this again for the same reasons as before. They can’t stand each other.

  14. S.... ....

    I remember purchasing an issue of Hit Parader back in 1983 and the magazine did an article on The Animals, basically a "Now & Then" type of theme with pictures of the band in the 60's and (then) current pics stating that The Animals had not "lost it" despite a 20 year absence. I personally never listened to them but I remember when this song( The Night) and the album, (The Ark) was kinda a big deal in 1983. I read the article in that issue with Eddie Van Halen on the cover of the magazine and couldn't believe that The Animals were "Heavy Metal." After listening to this song now, I have to confess it sounds like shit. The Animals sound like a garage band with middle-aged men trying to recapture their teenage youth. Your thoughts???🤔

    S.... ....

    SARATT69 The Animals were Never Heavy Metal nor were they ever New Wave. Eric has always been a blues man. Your not a fan if you don’t know this because you haven’t listened to his music. He was a kinda hippies psychedelic rock when they came from England and he just evolved from there. Garage band, recapturing their youth. He is considered the best white blues singer of all. He is 76, still singing his voice is still great. I just got on a list to be informed if or when he comes to town and there are over 20,000 people on it. You don’t have a clue

  15. C.... G....

    The very first time I listen that song it was like ...music for my ears.I might have listen it 30 times in a row just to enjoy it...From that day is in my everyday playlist when i get up in the morning.....the good songs and time is very best friends...

    C.... G....

    Glad it is still enjoyed by a lot of people... thank you for your input. :-)

  16. C.... G....

    There are today good songs out there....but you must have a very catchy ear to select them...

  17. R.... L....

    Maravilloso tema, hermosa voz de Eric!!

  18. S.... [....

    0:08 напаснулся и погнал ..

  19. M.... B....

    fucking great music

  20. J.... S....

    First like, then watch! This is music you spoiled brats with your justin bieber and the rest of the shit. This was MAINSTREAM in the 80's!

  21. f.... e....

    Je me souviens avoir vu Eric chanter cette chanson au Merryweather Post Pavillion dans la banlieue de Washington DC en 1983. C'était pour la promotion de leur album "Ark", symbole de leur réunion presque 20 ans après leur séparation.
    Un grand souvenir, un grand concert. Eric is the best !

  22. C.... N....

    One of my favorite songs. I was listening to it, at least 3 times, every morning, before school.

  23. A.... P....

    Wow, I'm glad I found this.

  24. �.... �....

    fantastic group. alex. ukraine.

  25. s.... m....

    Timeless song love it

  26. C.... S....

    entered Billboard Aug 13 1983 ..reached #48

  27. G.... M....

    Wikipedia: "Eric Burdon wrote this song with John Sterling, who gave it to him after he wrote the initial music and lyrics about his wife Eva who was visiting her family in Sweden. John talked with her on the phone every night during her absence"

    But on IMDB I can´t Eva

  28. V.... L....

    Êta cigarrinho bom ! He's So Much !

  29. C.... P....

    Un tema con fuerza desgarradora!!! de lo mejor de Eric & the animals !!

    C.... P....

    Uno de mis favoritos.

  30. C.... C....

    Love this song and I love most of what the Animals have recorded.

  31. K.... A....

    His voice has barely changed!

  32. N.... A....

    Temazo, una belleza, stunning!

  33. D.... ....

    Holy sweet shit this is awful. Ironically, I found this because I was searching for "animals of the night" and lo I found another video to add to the "terrible" list.

    D.... ....

    Go listen to Bieber!

    D.... ....

    Dankphu it suffers from 80s production, but is a well written song

    D.... ....

    Dankphu You obviously aren’t an Eric Burdon fan go away....

  34. B.... 3....

    so 80s...

  35. D.... S....

    Gia olous esas pou grafete malakies kai akoute skyladika...

    I am 50 now and i remember listening to this song at parties,discos,bars.etc...when i was 18,struggling between work and school,the cold the rain and the warm days of spring/summer. Brings a nostalgic smile reminiscing those times....when music meant something and made your blood boil.That's what used to keep us warm on the motorcycle !

    Bob Seger is right...."today's music ain't got the same soul.....". So,learn to appreciate those songs and keep in mind that back then we didn't have "a-rap"..thankfully or any of today's crap, few artists today have the passion and make music and while they sing they are putting their soul in it.Long live the '80's !!!!

    D.... S....

    Πολυ σωστος. ακομα και σημερα 3 χρονια μετα το σχολιο σου.... και σε αλλα 100 παλι το ιδιο θα ειναι!

    D.... S....

    English!

    D.... S....

    Φυσικά και η μουσική δεν είναι ίδια! Τίποτα δεν είναι το ίδιο! Όλα έχουν γίνει ίσωμα! Όλα πλαστικά! Μιας χρήσης! Συμβουλή, αν μου επιτρέπεις, γιατί είμαστε συνομήλικοι: Μην προσπαθείς να πείσεις κανέναν περί βιωμάτων! Είναι σα να προσπαθείς να περιγράψεις το κόκκινο χρώμα σε έναν τυφλό

    D.... S....

    this musixucks. thank god we have rap

    D.... S....

    Πώς τους πετσοκοψες έτσι?
    Ωραίος

  36. A.... G....

    ΧΑΛΙΑ!!!!!!

    A.... G....

    +Anti G XALIA EH ? Ti kserei ena 8xrono apo mousiki pou ipirxe 30+ xronia prin gennithis ? pigaine na akouseis a-rap kai min ekfereis gnomi otan den exeis idea peri tinos prokeitai.

    A.... G....

    Ο καθένας μπορεί να πει την γνώμη του!! Μονο θετικά θα λεμε !!!!!Και δεν είμαι οχταχρονο !!😊😝

    Ρε παιδιά, δε θα μπορούσε να είναι και Duran Duran αυτό το κομμάτι? Πολύ new romantics αίσθηση γενικά...

    K.... I....

    Το ζήτημα ειναι να είναι "μάτσο " για να αξίζει;
    Το ογδόντα τα ακουσματα άλλαζαν.
    Ελάχιστοι επέδρασαν στο μουσική Ροκ διαμόρφωση απο. Animals, War, solo καριερα...
    Πέρα από το γουστο μας , σεβασμό.

  43. E.... D....

  53. R.... B....

    i like how from psychedelic rock in 60s,they become new wave in the 80s. but i prefer this,since i'm more into new wave.

  65. L.... ....

    Great song! Get the album ARK. There's nothing like it and Eric is brilliant on it.

  66. L.... ....

    I just bought the album since it is finally available online. "ARK", after many listens, is really amazing. There are hints of punk rock that I never noticed back in 1983.

  67. j.... ....

    Είμαι σίγουρος πως το 94% όσων έκαναν dislike σε αυτό το απίστευτο έπος είναι ψηφοφόροι του Αντώνη Σαμαρά και του Βενιζέλου. Το υπόλοιπο 6% το κόβω μάλλον για Κου(ν)έλη ...

  68. T.... D....

    remember this song from a k-tel cassette called hot tracks 84....im one of the few that remember this song from the 80's

    T.... D....

    Hot Tracks is what brought me here. For some reason, I remembered this cassette and was Googling trying to figure out what it was. Found the play list and was listening to the songs on Youtube. I have to admit, I don't remember this song at all. Also don't remember the songs "Dead Giveaway" and "So Wrong". All 3 songs are at the end of the sides of the cassette. So, I probably always quit listening once I got to them and flipped to the other side of the cassette.
