lyrics

Longest night
Roger guitar and slide, Stuart bass, Adam drums.

It was one of those nights, no-one knew what it meant
the stars shone out in the firmament
the Man in the Moon had more than enough to say
on the longest night of those endless days

Mosquito was buzzing around and around in my room
The longest day was coming soon
Sleepless for the sun to break out it’s rays
on the longest night of those endless days

I stepped outside felt the weight of the stars
Lost in the cosmos beyond the reaches of Mars
Light years from another world away
on the longest night of those endless days

Some say “hell‘s for heathens, heaven’s for the good”
don't think ‘bout either, don’t see why I should
when the lights are on out in the Milky Way
on the longest night of those endless days

I stood in the light of the heavenly glow
That the left the stars impossibly long ago
Even nothing isn’t here to stay
on the longest night of those endless days

It was one of those nights, no-one knew what it meant
the stars shone out in the firmament
the Man in the Moon had more than enough to say
on the longest night of those endless days
