[Intro: Dave Gahan]
"Thank you very much."
"I thank you. Yes... We have one more song."

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I'm waiting for the night to fall
I know that it will save us all
When everything's dark
Keeps us from the stark reality
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There is a star in the sky
Guiding my way with its light
And in the glow of the moon
Know my deliverance will come soon

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the... "Hahaha!"
(All that you feel is tranquillity)
I'm waiting for the night to fall
When everything is bearable
And there in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There is a sound in the calm "Nice and calm, nice and calm."
Someone is coming to harm
I press my hands to my ears
It's easier here just to forget fear

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]
And when I squinted
The world seemed rose-tinted
And angels appeared to descend
To my surprise
With half-closed eyes
Things looked even better than when they were opened

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore, {audinece}]
Been waiting for the night to fall (Night to fall)
Now everything is bearable (Bearable)
{And there in the still}
{All that you feel is tranquillity}
Been waiting for the night to fall (Night to fall)
Now everything is bearable (Bearable)
And here in the still
All that you feel is tranquillity

[Outro: Dave Gahan]
"Thank you very much. Thank you. Little bit odd there, little bit, but thank you"
"Mister Christian Eigner! Sometimes can't stay."
"Mister Peter Gordeno!"
"And also one and only, mister Andrew 'Fletch' Fletcher!"
"Thank you very much! We'll see you next time! Good night, thank you!"

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
