Starin' at the moon againYes you been out on the looseYou still feel like a haunted manThis kinda life just ain't no use.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
You sit around and talk awhileYou go stealin' like a thiefThe silence kills and the talk is cheapAnd you don't get no relief.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
She left her calling cardAnd said her last goodbyesShe found a way into your heartAnd you lie there wondering why.
Gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long long long long lonely night.
You sit around and talk awhileYou go stealin' like a thiefThe silence kills and the talk is cheapAnd you don't get no relief.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
It's gonna be a long nightWaitin' for the first lightIt's gonna be a long night.
