The Nights Too Long — текст песни (Patty Loveless)

(lucinda williams)



Sylvia was workin as a waitress in beaumont

She said Im movin away, Im gonna get what I want

Im tired of these small-town boys that dont move fast enough

Im gonna find me one who wears a leather jacket and likes his livin rough



So she saved her tips and overtime and bought an old rusty car

She sold most everything she had to make a brand new start

She said I wont be needing these silly dresses and nylon hose

cause when I get to where Im goin Im gonna buy me all new clothes



The nights too long; it just drags on and on

And then theres never enough;

Thats when the sun starts comin up

Dont let go of her hand;

You just might be the right man

She loves the night; she loves the night

She doesnt want the night; dont want it to end

Dont want it to end.



She works in an office now and she guesses the pays all right

She can buy a few new things to wear and still go out at night

And as soon as she gets home from work she wants to be out with the crowd

Where she can dance and toss her hair back and laugh out loud



Well the musics playin fast and they just met

He presses up against her and his shirts all soaked with sweat

And with her back against the bar she can listen to the band

And shes holdin a corona and its cold against her hand



The nights too long; it just drags on and on

And then theres never enough;

Thats when the sun starts comin up

Dont let go of her hand;

You just might be the right man

She loves the night; she loves the night

She doesnt want the night; dont want it to end

Dont want it to end.
