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
