it's gonna be a long night

Gerry Rafferty

Starinââ?¬â?¢ at the moon again
Yes you been out on the loose
You still feel like a haunted man
This kinda life just ainââ?¬â?¢t no use.

Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinââ?¬â?¢ for the first light
Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night.

You sit around and talk awhile
You go stealinââ?¬â?¢ like a thief
The silence kills and the talk is cheap
And you donââ?¬â?¢t get no relief.

Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinââ?¬â?¢ for the first light
Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night.

She left her calling card
And said her last goodbyes
She found a way into your heart
And you lie there wondering why.

Gonna be a long night
Waitinââ?¬â?¢ for the first light
Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night.

Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinââ?¬â?¢ for the first light
Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long long long long lonely night.

You sit around and talk awhile
You go stealinââ?¬â?¢ like a thief
The silence kills and the talk is cheap
And you donââ?¬â?¢t get no relief.

Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinââ?¬â?¢ for the first light
Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night.

Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinââ?¬â?¢ for the first light
Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night.

Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night
Waitinââ?¬â?¢ for the first light
Itââ?¬â?¢s gonna be a long night.
