The Reason The Night Is So Long

Lyrics

oh the reason the night is long

is very simple.

oh i miss you when i'm at work.

oh and i miss you when we fight, and you leave.

honey, i confess, i stole your heart.

and honey, i confess that it was criminal.

but i've been captured, i'm paralyzed.

and i've been disarmed by your charm.

oh the reason the night is long is very simple.

i imagine, tonight, that we can get along.

that nothing i can do with you is wrong, tonight.

but if i'm careful at sunset, if i'm mindful at dawn,

clouded minds up north could

sometimes produce rain and lightning.

if it's ok to touch you,

it's alright to think "electricity".

maybe it hasn't been so long.

maybe this dim time is just twilight.
