Another Long One — текст песни (Shawn Colvin)

S. colvin



If losing sleep were any indication

Of the loving that Ive missed

I would wrap myself around you

But how likely can that be when I feel like this

And if life were not unfortunate

And reason blew like summer through the trees

I would stop to let you catch me

But I think that you would find me on my knees





And its gonna be another long one tonight

Its just me and my well-intentioned spite

I said someone did this to me

But no one did, theres no injustices

I just cant afford to be right no more

I bought myself another bad dream tonight

With these little boys in my head sleeping tight

Its gonna be another long one tonight





There is comfort in a memory

And in roses just before you cut them down

There is danger in most everything

Thats all the better when its not around

And the last time I had the sense to notice

You were right here being kind

But if I think that you are with me

Then I know that you can always change your mind





And its gonna be another long one tonight

Its just me and my well-intentioned spite

I said someone did this to me

But no one did, theres no injustices

I just cant afford to be right no more

I bought myself another bad dream tonight

With these little boys in my head sleeping tight

Its gonna be another long one tonight
