Lyrics
THE LONGEST NIGHT
(STEVE DAFOE) COPYRIGHTED 2022
VERSE 1:
IN THE HALLWAY'S OF MY MIND
A HAUNTING SO UNKIND
OF WORDS THAT CAN'T BE UNSAID
SIGHTS THAT I CANNOT UNSEE
ACTIONS THAT CAN'T BE UNDONE
IT MAKES FOR A LONG NIGHT
DARKEST BEFORE THE LIGHT
DREADING THE LONGEST NIGHT
VERSE 2:
CAN'T CHANGE A PAST
WITH HURT THAT ALWAYS LAST
OF THINGS THAT WERE SAID
CAN'T 'OUT-RUN' THE PAST
FOR IT ALWAYS LAST
MAKES FOR A LONG LONG NIGHT
DARKEST BEFORE THE LIGHT
HERE COMES THE LNOGEST NIGHT
VERSE 3:
YOU CANNOT UNSEE
THE VISIONS THAT HAUNT
OH HOW THE MIND LIKES TO TAUNT
BUT BEST CHANGE COMES FROM THE WORST PAIN
ONLY THEN CAN WE BE FREE
BUT IT MAKES FOR A LONG NIGHT
OH THE LNGEST NIGHT
VERSE 4:
AS I LAY IN BED
A MIND FILLS WITH DREAD
OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE
KNOW I CAN'T OUTRUN
THE SUN IS A LONG WAY OFF
DREADING THE LONG LONG NITE
OH IT'S THE LONGEST NIGHT
