Long Night

Two people, one bed, each facing their own direction Remembering what they'd said, each seeking their own protection Distant ache from deep within, it echoes like a canyon Calling from some lonely place, just like a child who's been abandoned Don't you see? You're in for a long, long night Tossing around 'til the morning light And nothing you say would come out right You're in for a long night No anger, some pain, they don't want to hurt each other Each feeling, the same, sometimes you don't need a lover Lonely silence marches on, it lingers while you dangle Turn it over in your mind, and try another angle Still you see... You're in for a long, long night Tossing around 'til the morning light And nothing you say would come out right You're in for a long night And you wait and you wait and you wait For sleep to free you Circles round but still it won't come near you Your mind is wired, your body's tired You've never felt so uninspired You're reaching out, but nobody can hear you They can't see... They can't see... You're in for a long, long night Tossing around 'til the morning light And nothing you say would come out right You're in for a long night You're in for a long night You're in for a long night
