lyrics

THE NIGHT IS LONG (Hiorns) Sept. 2013

Your silence haunts your dresses sweep
Painted lips and perfumed feet
Your gypsy man waits down the road
Go tell him which way he should go

Your heart is sad your love is gold
Don’t let them put you down in a hole
For they don’t know their own desire
Truth you whisper cruel as time

And they ride tall and pale
And you cry some day

If you’d seen what I have seen
You wouldn’t be so quick to misjudge me
And if you ever were in need
You’d think a while before you speak

But the night is long
And the world is young
And the night is yours
The fire is warm

But the night is long
And your hands are strong
And your world is young

I’m a slave to the night
I fade in the light
Well another love dies
Look straight into these weary eyes

And you turn them on
And the night is long
The light is gone
You can’t go on
Fire is warm
Night is long
