Now the day has run When the cover comes But any fool can see Ahead Silence is my friend But it has to end Any fool can see Ahead It's the longest night It's the longest night Cold winds may blow On the longest night So we write our letters To those far away Any fool can see Ahead Distant sound of thunder A choir of wailing shells Any fool can see Ahead It's the longest night It's the longest night Cold winds may blow On the longest night I don't want to fight I don't know who's right Cold winds they blow On this longest night It's the longest night It's the longest night It's the longest night Cold winds may blow On the longest night It's the longest night Oh, the longest night Cold winds may blow On the longest night Cold winds may blow Cold winds may blow Cold winds may blow On this longest night
