I Long For You

Don't you go – don't you leave.

We'll be good, just wait and see

So many things we never knew,

like you need me, and I long for you

I can't bear to sleep at night

when you're not there to close the light

Tell me why the world was born

What good's a world, when the one you love is gone

Don't leave tonight

Don't close the door

No need to fight

No call to war

We could make it, if we tried

A touch of laughter

A long goodbye

I can't go, but I can't stay

Life changes so, from black and white to grey

and old cliches that grow like vines,

to choke the heart of the one you leave behind

The hollow laughter

Empty rooms

The morning after

comes too soon

You could make the angels cry

but I can't take a long goodbye

So don't you go

Don't you leave

We'll be good

just you wait and see

So many things I never knew

like you need me

and I long for you
