It's Gonna Be a Long Night
Starinâ"š¬â"ž¢ at the moon again
Yes you been out on the loose
You still feel like a haunted man
This kinda life just ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t no use.
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinâ"š¬â"ž¢ for the first light
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night.
You sit around and talk awhile
You go stealinâ"š¬â"ž¢ like a thief
The silence kills and the talk is cheap
And you donâ"š¬â"ž¢t get no relief.
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinâ"š¬â"ž¢ for the first light
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night.
She left her calling card
And said her last goodbyes
She found a way into your heart
And you lie there wondering why.
Gonna be a long night
Waitinâ"š¬â"ž¢ for the first light
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night.
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinâ"š¬â"ž¢ for the first light
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long long long long lonely night.
You sit around and talk awhile
You go stealinâ"š¬â"ž¢ like a thief
The silence kills and the talk is cheap
And you donâ"š¬â"ž¢t get no relief.
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinâ"š¬â"ž¢ for the first light
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night.
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinâ"š¬â"ž¢ for the first light
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night.
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinâ"š¬â"ž¢ for the first light
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s gonna be a long night.
