Lyrics Long Way to Night - Joan Shelley

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 its a long, long way to night
Speak softly I’ll hear what you say
lay 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 its a long, long way to night
