Long Way to Night

How lovely I wished and you came

Means everything’s right

I’d forgotten the lull of this place

And the habits of time

But it's a long, long way to night

Speak softly I’ll hear what you say

Say the words in my mouth

And hold dearly the sounds of my name

They mean everything now

Cause its a long, long way to night

Rip open, now, tear up the cobblestones

Take me in the light this time

It’s coming the breeze to take me away

As it comes every night

Ain’t it frightening the blood in your veins?

But I promise it’s alright

Cause its a long, long way to night

There’s so much I’m longing to say

But there’s nothing to decide

If we’re lucky they’ll make a mistake

And let you stay by my side

But it's a long, long way to night
