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
But it's a long, long way to night
