Lyrics Gerry Rafferty

Gerry Rafferty

It's Gonna Be A Long Night

Starin' at the moon again

Yes you been out on the loose

You still feel like a haunted man

This kinda life just ain't no use.

It's gonna be a long night

Waitin' for the first light

It's gonna be a long night.

You sit around and talk awhile

You go stealin' like a thief

The silence kills and the talk is cheap

And you don't get no relief.

It's gonna be a long night

Waitin' for the first light

It'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

Waitin' for the first light

It's gonna be a long night.

It's gonna be a long night

Waitin' for the first light

It's gonna be a long long long long lonely night.

You sit around and talk awhile

You go stealin' like a thief

The silence kills and the talk is cheap

And you don't get no relief.

It's gonna be a long night

Waitin' for the first light

It's gonna be a long night.

It's gonna be a long night

Waitin' for the first light

It's gonna be a long night.

It's gonna be a long night

Waitin' for the first light

It's gonna be a long night.
