how lovely i wished and you came means everythings right forgotten the lull of this place and the habits of time but it s a long long way to night speak softly ill hear what you say lay the words in my mouth and hold dearly the sounds of my name they mean everything now cause its a long long way to night rip open now tear up the cobblestones take me in the light this time its coming on the breeze to take me away as it comes every night aint it frightening the blood in your vein but i promise its alright cause its a long long way to night theres so much im longing to say but theres nothing to decide if were lucky theyll make a mistake and let you stay by my side but it s a long long way to night
