LYRICS

Starin' at the moon again Yes, you've been out on the loose You still feel like a haunted man This kinda life just ain't no use. It's gonna be a long night Waitin' for the first light It's gonna be a long night. You sit around and talk a while You go stealin' like a thief The silence kills and the talk is cheap And you don't get no relief. It's gonna be a long night Waitin' for the first light It's gonna be a long night. She left her calling card And said her last goodbyes She found a way into your heart And you lie there wondering why. It's gonna be a long night Waitin' for the first light It's gonna be a long night. It's gonna be a long night Waitin' for the first light It's gonna be a long long long long lonely night. You sit around and talk a while You go stealin' like a thief The silence kills and the talk is cheap And you don't get no relief. It's gonna be a long night Waitin' for the first light It's gonna be a long night. It's gonna be a long night Waitin' for the first light It's gonna be a long night. It's gonna be a long night Waitin' for the first light It's gonna be a long night.
