Lyrics Bruce Hornsby

Bruce Hornsby

The Longest Night

Someone's dancing on the table

Someone's got an old book in the back

Some old jocks are sitting round their neighbors

Exaggerating their stats

Again

There's Mr. D.E. in the corner

Dancing with Miss Virginia former

I didn't think I'd really have a good time

But i don't remember you looking so fine

It's been a long dark night alright

I've been running on a low love light

Maybe the longest night

Maybe it's over, over tonight

Most everyone all around

Most have an intersting story

Even those who don't have much to say

Even interest me when they're just boring to him

And then there's Mr. B.M.O.C.

Talking so loud to Mr. P.E.

Someone said that his best days are past

But I know this first chance won't be the last

It's been a long dark night alright

I've been running on a low love light

Maybe the longest night

Maybe it's over, over tonight

Hey now Mr. D.J.

Keep those good songs coming

Cause I'm having such a good time tonight

Moving making up for so much long lost time

Not much going since the old days

One long solo ride

I came here just to live in the past

But maybe I'm seeing the future at last

It's been a long dark night alright

I've been running on a low love light

Maybe the longest night

Maybe it's over, over tonight
