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
