Through the Long Night

The cold hands, the sad eyes

The dark Irish silence

It's so late, but I'll wait

Through the long night with you

With you

The warm tears, the bad dreams

The soft trembling shoulders

The old fears, but I'm here

Through the long night with you

With you

Oh, what has it cost you

I almost lost you

A long, long time ago

Oh, you should have told me

But you had to bleed to know

All your past sins are since past

You should be sleeping

It's alright, sleep tight

Through the long night with me

With me

No, I didn't start it

You're brokenhearted

From a long, long time ago

Oh, the way you hold me

Is all that I need to know

And it's so late, but I'll wait

Through the long night with you

With you
