How lovely I wished and you came
Means everything’s right
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
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 on the breeze to take me away
As it comes every night
Ain’t it frightening the blood in your vein?
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
